Product Description

Product Description

The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his 'enemy' had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous 'dark night of the soul' after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony. Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns' deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.


About the Author

Dr Scott Hahn is currently a Professor of Theology and Scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where he has taught since 1990, and is the founder and director of the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology. In 2005, he was appointed as the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology and Liturgical Proclamation at St. Vincent Seminary in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Dr. Hahn is also the bestselling author of numerous books including The Lamb s Supper, Reasons to Believe, and Rome Sweet Home (co-authored with his wife, Kimberly). The Catholic Bible Dictionary, Covenant and Communion, Kinship By Covenant, Signs of Life, and Spirit and Life are his newest books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb and inspiring read., 24 Dec 1999
By gemnet@netcomuk.co.uk (Dartford, England) - See all my reviews
I find the sort of Bible punching, blind faith, muscular Christianity from whence the Hanes started their journey deeply unattractive, as I suspect do many. It is the face of the Reformed faith which I believe has contributed much to the collapse of formal religion in the West. As the Irishman said when asked the way to Dublin, "If I was going to Dublin, I wouldn't have started from here."

However, I made a similar journey to the Hayns forty years ago, starting from agnosticism. I have not once in those forty years regretted my decision to become a Catholic.

In spite of my reservations, I found this book an absolutely compelling read and finished it in one day. Once I had picked it up, I could not put it down. It has left me with a deeper appreciation and love of my Catholic faith, for which I am grateful to Scott and Kimberly. I can't wait to get my hands on some of their tapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Theology is about life with God; it is not merely academic., 15 May 2002
By H. Doherty (Co Antrim, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a Catholic living the Christian life, I recognise the truth of Scott and Kimberly Hahn's struggle. It cannot be downgraded as merely the academic theology of an intellectual. Their book recounts an experience with God; a painful carrying of the Cross, filled with prayer. It is a first class presentation of two conversions, in which we learn so much about God, and the strength of Protestant fear of Christ's Church, the Catholic Church. Critics of the Hahns' conversion are outside the experience of Catholicism; therefore they cannot judge either Catholicism or their conversion. Such judging is only an academic exercise for them. I plead with the critics to face the questions faced by the Hahns, with humble prayer. This book is an exceptionally good beginning. Why can't I give it 100 stars?

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful and inspiring reading., 21 Feb 2006
By Mr. J. M. Ginebra Serrabou (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Conversion seems to be as much about a change in intellectual convictions as a change in life convictions. This book captures the couple's journey through both. It shows us that even with a clear intellectual conviction, it is the perfectly acceptable "small" things in life such as our family, our partner, our friends what makes conversion very hard. Like wolves in sheep's clothing.
While the book is interesting for non-catholics, it is a must-read for catholics that need to revamp their religious life. It reminds us that conversion should happen everyday and if we are not fighting, we are going backwards.
A delightful and inspiring reading.
