"This book is a work of mercy for the writer, and for the reader, an actual grace. Like everything Peter Kreeft writes, it is inspiring, informative, and entertaining. But this book is also deeply personal and straight from the heart--certainly not to be missed. I would add that Kreeft speaks effectively not only to those who are Calvinist (as I once was) but also to those Catholics who wish to understand and dialogue with the Calvinists and evangelicals in their lives." -- Scott Hahn , Author, Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism "Peter Kreeft has rarely focused on himself--his upbringing, family, education, spiritual life, or conversion. Kreeft fans have hungered for the full story of how Peter the Calvinist became Kreeft the Catholic convert. Here, finally, is that full, fascinating account. Told with Kreeft's usual wit and sharpness, the man who has led thousands of others to become Catholic details what first led him down that path.
An utter delight from beginning to end!" -- Brandon Vogt, Editor, Wisdom and Wonder: How Peter Kreeft Shaped the Next Generation of Catholics "In this fascinating autobiographical work, Peter Kreeft presents not only his journey from Calvinism to Catholicism but also a penetrating argument for the Catholic Church as the source of spiritual, intellectual, emotional, relational, and cultural sanity. He explores not only the necessity of the Church's sacraments, liturgy, theology, philosophy, morality, and saints for an optimal life towards Christ's eternal salvation, but also what's missing in the Calvinistic and Lutheran approaches to the same. This is a must read for all Catholics (and non-Catholics) seeking a powerful elucidation of what Christ had in mind when founding the Catholic Church." -- Fr. Robert J. Spitzer, S.J. , President, Magis Center for Reason and Faith "Few men in my lifetime have made such an impact through the written word as Peter Kreeft--on the world and on me, personally.
I was thrilled to meet him at a conference, and I was stunned to find that this great thinker had one of the 'lightest' spirits I'd ever encountered. What I found was someone who had never lost his childlike giddiness. A man who reveled more than opined , he not only studied truth but rejoiced and played in it, just as the Father intended. 'I wish the world could SEE what I just saw in the spirit of that man!', I thought. Well, now the world can. Grab a pint and open this book!" -- Chris Stefanick, Catholic Evangelist; President, Real Life Catholic.
