I found this book to be very revealing and inetersting. I found it helpful to see different conversions from individuals with different religious beliefs. From a Pentecostal, an Atheist, to a former Jew. This is an awesome testiment to the truth... "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." Jn 8:32.

The most obvious feature of this book is its plain, almost style-less, writing. This, however, is one of its charms. None of the stories were written by a Stephen King or Danielle Steel; these are normal, everyday people writing in a normal, everyday way. The people who wrote these stories aren't out to sell books or get you to believe that, in some far-out world, there's a character that needs to find the last golishar and save the universe; the people who wrote this book simply want to spread their story (their journey) of how they came to find Catholicism.

And it's very successful at that. The writing is what helped it accomplish that goal the most. Because it was written the way it was, it actually feels like the authors are telling you their stories in person. The 'in-person' feel adds to the feeling of reality to the stories and, ultimately, the enjoyability.

Enjoyed reading this book. It was helpful in making a decision of my own. Anyone interested in Faith/conversion, read this book.

Overviews the popular arguments for conversion from Protestant to Catholic, told via mini biographies. A quick, informative read for anyone just beginning this quest. I enjoyed it, even though I've already read many such testimonies.
