4.0 out of 5 stars Protestant Clergy "Come Home" to the Catholic Church, April 6, 1998
By William J. Cork (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
"Journeys Home" is a collection of articles which originally appeared in the newsletter of the "Coming Home Network," an association of Protestant clergy who have "come home" to the Catholic faith.

Many of the narratives echo themes in traditional conversion stories such as Thomas Merton's "The Seven Storey Mountain" or John Henry Newman's "Apologia Pro Vita Sua." The conversion process can be at once exhilirating and confusing. It can result in pain and grief, especially when one is separated from loved ones and friends.

One of the chapters in the book is my own account of how I journeyed from the Seventh-day Adventist faith in which I was raised, through Lutheranism (including ordination as a Lutheran pastor), to Catholicism. My wife, however, remained a Seventh-day Adventist.

The book will be of particular interest to those with an interest in Catholic apologetics. It will also be useful for those interested in the dynamics of the conversion process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great conversion resource, May 1, 2000
By Tim Drake "Author and Journalist" (Saint Joseph, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If you're struggling to convert to the Catholic faith, or just love reading the stories of others that have then you will particularly enjoy this book.

Marcus Grodi, founder of the Coming Home Network and host of the EWTN television show "Coming Home" contributed to and edited this fine book featuring the conversion stories of many (Lutheran, Jew, and Evangelical Protestant) and how they came into the Catholic faith.

Many of the stories come directly from the Coming Home Network Journal.

The book is helpful in that it provides suggestions particularly for former Protestant clergy that have converted to Catholicism. Faced with a decision which means losing their job and a means of providing for their family, the Coming Home Network offers valuable suggestions and linkages that can help such individuals find employment. The book also includes some survey results from converts.

As an added bonus, the Appendix features the popular Catholic Answers booklet, "Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Truth" - a tract that has been helpful to hundreds of thousands in explaining the misconceptions that so many have about Catholicism.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hearty Meal for the Hungry Explorer, February 21, 1999
This book is a valuable addition to the ever-expanding collection of conversion testimonies written by Evangelical Protestant converts to the Catholic Church.

"Journeys Home" is a trustworthy roadmap, complete with biblical and historical signposts, that shows the way out of the wilderness and into the Catholic Church. Good for the mind, great for the soul.
