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.
Atheist to Catholic 11 Stories of Conversion edition by Rebecca V Cherico Religion Spirituality eBooks
This book contains stories that inspire; they make us understand what it is about the Catholic faith that draws people to God. In each of the stories there are reasons why the person does not believe or gave up believing in a 'supreme being' but that tends to 'eat at their inner being'; they then realize they are seeking something 'bigger than themselves'. The ways they find the Church vary but at the core of it is their search for truth and love which they discover in the Catholic Church. In a few of the cases they first start their search at churches of other faiths and are left still missing something, they do not know what but still have an emptiness and that is the power of the Eucharist and the constancy of the Catholic Church's faith tradition. Another interesting aspect of these stories is the importance of other Catholics they encounter on their way to the Catholic Church, even if not the most 'faithful' Catholics, they help draw them and lead them to the Church. My feeling was that in seeing these Catholics, who realize their own shortcomings, since through the humility and failings of these Catholics it helps them realize that the Church accepts all.Product details

Atheist to Catholic 11 Stories of Conversion edition by Rebecca V Cherico Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
My son loved this book and claimed it helped him talk to his friends that do not believe in God.
Excellent
The conversion stories in this book are heartfelt and inspirational. I have given copies of this book to several people and have received positive feedback from them. It is good not only for those without faith, and those contemplating joining the Catholic Church, but also for those active in the Catholic Church because it serves to reinforce their own faith.
when I read the stories at first ,I found a gap within each story , it's the same gap that I had when I started to believe in Jesus. you think something is missing , yet it's obvious that sometimes it's hard to express what drove you to believe by words. some of the conversion stories came after reasoning and deep study , others came as a gift from the almighty such as a religious experience . some of the people in the book were very anti-religion and anti-God , some of them even were evangelizing people with atheism and having their own blogs to do so. its amazing how God brought them to faith and work in their life .
The stories are all potentially interesting, but they're very short. Brevity can be a virtue, but in this case, it seemed like most of the authors were leaving out a lot for the sake of meeting a word limit.
This book is pretty good, but I was kind of disappointed. I was expecting more substance, and there wasn't much at all. I didn't really learn anything reading this book. It was pretty much just people's journey's to faith, of course, but generally there was not any depth, just simple and to the point. I was hoping for more.
This book is a collection of interesting stories written to by a number of individuals who have converted from atheism to Catholocism/Christianity.
Each story is well written, and each author tells about the events, relationships and considerations that lead to their conversion. The stories also gives insights into the lives of a number of individuals, and how they experienced life, relationships, and living in the American society during the last few decades.
If you like autobiographies, you're gonna enjoy this book, as it is actually a collection of a number of "condensed" autobiographies.
No matter what you believe in (as for me, I am actually a Protestant/Evangelical Christian, not a Catholic), this book will help you learn more about how other people come to believe what they believe, and it may challenge you to rethink some of your own beliefs.
I've actually only read the first half of the book, but plan to complete reading in within the next few weeks.
