Classic Catholic Converts

Classic Catholic Converts presents the compelling stories of over 25 well-known converts to Catholicism including Elizabeth Seton, John Henry Newman, Edith Stein, Jacques Maritain, Dorothy Day, G.K. Chesterton, Karl Stern, Ronald Knox, and many more. Author Fr. Charles Connor writes insightful and wonderfully readable stories of this rich variety of converts who struggled greatly with various challenges as they embraced Catholicism, including rejection by loved ones, persecution from strangers, and misunderstanding by peers. Once they responded to God’s call, they experienced great inner peace, contentment and joy.  This inspiring book tells of powerful testimonials to God’s grace:  these men and women from all walks of life in Europe and America whose search for the fullness of truth led them to the Catholic Church. It is the witness of brilliant intellectuals, social workers, scientists, authors, film producers, clergy, businessmen, artists and others who, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, studied and prayed their way into the Church.
