“…all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:23

I am a former wine marketer, non-denominational church member, and prodigal son.

Through a number of radical experiences, I rejoined the Catholic Church in 2019. The two-year journey is detailed in my book: Confession All — A Humiliating, Tormented Pilgrimage to God’s Will.

Here’s the back cover preview:

Eddie Trask was a normal guy. A nice, normal guy. A remarkable façade. Many would say a Christian. 

Then God confronted him. 

This encounter began an excruciating journey that plunged Trask to the depths of his psyche. The goal was often cloudy and contested, but one thing was for sure: God wanted to purge every cavity, recess, and chamber imaginable. Trask’s old self needed to die. 

Teetering on the ecumenical line of Protestantism and Catholicism, conversion and reversion, and law vs. grace, Trask wandered in a maze of spiritual warfare, often questioning his sanity, motives, and ability to persevere. Along the way, he consulted the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, and many others.

Then God confronted him again.   

Confession All microscopically highlights two agonizing, seemingly irrational years. From scrupulosity and mortification of the flesh to thought captivity and chastity, Trask exposes himself and his marriage, pushing every chip to the center of the table, hoping to inspire unconditional surrender to God’s will.
