Not long after entering the seminary in 1970, Embo abandoned Catholicism and became an ardent disciple of an eccentric, West Coast advertising-genius-turned-televangelist by the name of Herbert W. Armstrong. The eventful journey includes Embo's sometimes-bizarre experiences after pledging unquestioning allegiance to Armstrong's secretive, heretical sect--the Worldwide Church of God. Only years after the death of Herbert Armstrong did Embo and tens of thousands of other sect members awaken, as if out of a spiritual stupor, to acknowledge the extent of their departure from the historic Christian faith. Thus begins Embo's pilgrimage with his wife back to the Catholic faith.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmbo's poignant reunion with his birthmother in 1977 is a critical part of his story. His experiences as an adoptee later brought him to a profound appreciation of Catholicism's 2,000 year-old proclamation of the Gospel of Life. \u003ci\u003eThe God That Prevailed\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling and inspiring spiritual journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Gerard Embo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595340318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595340316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Dennis Gerard Embo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920288579839,"sku":"9780595340316","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_db0747f2-21d5-48a4-9452-22035bf4ce3a.jpg?v=1680814571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-god-that-prevailed-dennis-gerard-embo-9780595340316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
