Project Conversion: One Man, 12 Faiths, One Year

How does hatred toward all peoples of all faiths transform into a profound love of Christ and his Church? After a family tragedy propels him into years of hatred toward religion, Andrew Bowen realizes that he has a choice: either graduate to a violent, militant form of anti-theism, or uncover a path toward peace, reconciliation, and personal conversion. Choosing peace, Andrew embarks on a year-long journey called Project Conversion that radically transforms him and his family when he immerses himself in 12 faiths and philosophies he once abhorred. Little does he know that each faith will gradually melt the permafrost of his heart and lead him to the way and the love of Jesus Christ. Stay tuned for the second part of the conversion journey, The Chisel and the Stone.

In 2011, Andrew Bowen embarked on the most challenging journey of his life, and completely the year utterly transformed. Once consumed with hatred toward religion and the faithful, he fully immersed himself in 12 faiths and philosophies in order to discover the humanity within them all. He called that journey Project Conversion. Andrew now speaks and writes about insights and lessons he gleaned from the journey and teaches others the art of combating the very hate, ignorance, and intolerance that once consumed his life.
