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.

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 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.
