Will the Real Church Please Stand! : A Conversion Journey from Fundamental Baptist to Roman Catholic by Anne Stokes

Born into a devoutly Fundamentalist Baptist home, and baptized at the age of six, I was raised to believe that Baptists practiced the truest form of New Testament Christianity. My father was a pastor, and my parents were both dedicated in their service to the Lord, and I could never thank them enough for my Bible-based upbringing. There came a time, however, when an inherited belief proved to be an insufficient foundation for life, if life was to be lived on a deeper level. The key word in the sentence above are “inherited belief” for to truly believe, is to personally understand beyond the superficial. This book is a personal story that reflects a thought process, fueled by a complex spiritual journey where, at times, perseverance was my only hope. In my travels, and with great quantities of time spent on discovery, I was able to conclude that the Catholic Church today is the successor of the Apostles and the continuation of the Church of the New Testament. This is my story.
