"Conversion involves many strands of theological and personal
struggles. Surprised by Truth weaves those strands in a tapestry of
great beauty."- Kimberley Hahn, co-author of Rome Sweet Home
"I'm privileged to know personally several contributors to
Surprised by Truth. Each is deeply committed to Jesus Christ; each
relentlessly sought Him and was amazed at where he found him."- Fr.
Mitchell Pacwa, S.J., host of EWTN Live
"The apostles preached the Catholic faith regardless of the cost.
These converts have accepted that faith - in each case at a great
cost. What they learned is here distilled in a masterpiece of
Catholic apologetics."- Most Reverend Charles Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.,
Archbishop of Denver, Colorado
"These converts, coming from varied backgrounds, converged on the
Catholic faith because their intellects were enlightened by divine
grace to accept its truth...They bring apologetics to life in an
exciting way."- Fr. Peter M.J. Stravinskas, author of The Bible and
the Mass
"These eleven stories of conversion merge into a sustained argument
for the truth of the Catholic faith. The converts' anxieties,
doubts, reasons, and affirmations are reported candidly - nothing
is held back."- Karl Keating, author of Catholicism and
Fundamentalism and What Catholics Really Believe
