The Long Way Home

Have you ever felt the quiet pull to return to the Catholic Church--but weren't sure where to begin? Millions of Catholics have stepped away from the church, often carrying questions, regrets, or a quiet sense of loss. Yet the desire to come home--to belong again--never fully disappears. In The Long Way Home, Jeff Lukich shares his own return after decades away, weaving personal story with encouragement for those who feel the same longing. Written as a practical guide for fallen-away Catholics, it is also a resource for family members who hope to support loved ones, and for clergy who minister to those considering a return. With honesty and humility, Lukich reminds readers that coming back is possible, that the doors of the church remain open, and that God never stops pursuing them. Part memoir and part roadmap, this book offers hope to anyone seeking faith and a powerful reminder that no matter how far someone wanders, God never stops calling them home.
