Thoughts and stories about why I became Catholic after being raised Protestant (Baptist/Pentecostal/Nondenominational), and also reflections on the present journey of raising my family in this new context. Without a vanishing point, your life will be out of perspective. Deciding to follow Jesus gave me a horizon; I knew up from down, right from wrong. Becoming Catholic I found my vanishing point and my life could be seen in perspective.

Most Famous Catholic Conversion Story
Dr. Scott Hahn's conversion story is the most read and listened to currently in the US. Amoung Protestants on their journey home, most are familiar with Dr. Hahn's testimony of his conversion from being a zealous Reformed Pastor to entering the Catholic Church. His book, Rome Sweet Home, is a staple for the Protestant on their journey home to the Catholic Church. In this video, Dr. Hahn shares the tale of his conversion. If you find yourself on the same journey, especially if you are involved in church ministry and perhaps you serve alongside a zealous wife, you may find this story encouraging at times and troubling as well. You see, Dr. Hahn had to face disharmony in his marriage when his wife refused to join him on his journey, at least at first. Listen to his story of how Dr. Hahn and his wife eventually both were receicved into the Catholic Church. http://youtu.be/FrQN8LHYg5g
Southern Baptist/Non Denominational Preacher Becomes Catholic
Southern Baptist/Non denomination preacher Michael Crumbie shares his conversion story on The Journey Home Program with Marcus Grodi. Growing up in Baptist/Non-denominational churches myself, the way he talks and teaches sound like so many of the preachers I grew up hearing. Perhaps someone from a similar background as ours will benefit from hearing his story. God bless. http://youtu.be/qiMWR9Kx64I
