The Stones Cry Out! is the story of Marco Lamadrid, an evangelical Christian in Latin America, who received a call to become a Catholic priest. Something happened to him one day when he stopped in a Catholic Church to admire the baroque art and had an experience that changed the direction of his entire life. When he left the baroque church a dream was born in his soul that led him to the United States and Rome. This is the story of how that dream became a nightmare and of his complete dedication to his faith and ideals throughout the various vicissitudes of his life. This is the story of that nightmare.About the Author:Son of an American mother and a Spanish father, Josue Raul Conte, a native of Andorra, a principality in the Pyrenees, was born in 1969. After his early education with the Jesuits, he enrolled at the Opus Dei University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, where he received his doctorate in medieval philosophy and literature. During his years at the university, he became a member of the Neo-catechumenal Way, but later was very disillusioned with the stringent constraints of ultraconservative Catholicism and adopted a more moderate approach to the faith and dropped out of the Way. Having taught at various colleges and universities, he is now a freelance journalist, living in San Francisco with his second wife Alicia and Ivan, their Russian wolfhound. He is also author of The Chancery Murders and Rosanada Requiem that continue the story that began in The Stones Cry Out! and complete the Rosanada Trilogy.
