A NEW BOOK FROM TSH OXENREIDER · MAY 11, 2027
The Whole Way
On Finding the Fullness of the Christian Faith in the Catholic Church
After a lifetime of loving Jesus in the evangelical and Anglican worlds, Tsh Oxenreider found the rest of the story, the whole of it, in the oldest Church there is. This is the book she wish someone had handed her at the start of the road. [PLACEHOLDER HOOK, final copy TBD]

[PLACEHOLDER BOOK DESCRIPTION, 2-4 short paragraphs.]
For years, Tsh Oxenreider loved Jesus, read her Bible, and served her church, yet she kept sensing there was more to the story: ancient prayers. Feast days and fasts. Saints who were family. A table where Heaven and Earth meet. One question led to another, until the road led home to the Catholic Church.
No one was more surprised than her.
Part memoir, part guidebook, The Whole Way is an honest, warm, unhurried look at what the Catholic Church actually teaches and why it just might be what so many Christians are longing for. Whether you're curious, skeptical, already on the road, or loving someone who is, this book is a companion for that expedition.

Your bonus: [PLACEHOLDER: e.g. a conversation or essay from Tsh on leaving Anglicanism]
For the Catholic
The Catholic Bridge-Builder
"How do I explain my faith to Protestant friends without sounding strange?"
