Atheist to Catholic: Stories of Conversion

Many of the former atheists in this book had investigated religion’s claims to truth, rejected them–and were shocked to then find themselves turning to faith. They include: a university professor unexpectedly attracted to the faith when a student describes her retreat at a monastery; a young woman impressed by a colleague’s Mass attendance, who writes, I wanted to find her ridiculous, but quite unexpectedly, I felt like the ridiculous one; a Polish immigrant who shared Communism’s disdain for religion. These seekers ended up some place they never intended to go–the Catholic Church–and yet went there and found that they were home.
