This collection of conversion stories relates how former Baptists, Presbyterians, Salvation Army officers, Plymouth Brethren, Episcopalians, Evangelicals and New Age believers all made their way along the Path to Rome. Each chapter weaves an individual's coversion story into a wider issue of ecumenical concern, and with contributions from housewives, former bishops, well-known academics and former Protestant pastors, there is a wide range of viewpoints and interests. Theological, pastoral and personal issues are explored in a highly readible form. The book is sure to help a great many others who are seeking for the fullness of the Catholic Faith.
