Very helpful
My husband was an adult convert to The L.D.S. Church and found this book invaluable. It explains some of the mundane, but interesting things to things of importance that the L.D.S. culture and way of life has.

Converts, Heretics, and Lepers: Maimonides and the Outsider
James A. Diamond

University of Notre Dame Press, 2007

James Diamond's new book consists of a series of studies addressing Moses Maimonides' (1138-1204) appropriation of marginal figures - lepers, converts, heretics, and others - normally considered on the fringes of society and religion. Each chapter focuses on a type or character that, in Maimonides' hands, becomes a metaphor for a larger, more substantive theological and philosophical issue. Diamond offers a close reading of key texts, such as ...

Classic Catholic Converts

Charles Connor

Ignatius Press, 2001

Profiles of inspiration
Fr. Connor has written terrific, essay-length profiles of about a dozen converts and a handful of conversion movements, e.g., the Oxford Movement, the converts of Fulton Sheen. Since the intended audience is 'Anglo-American,' most of the subjects of his sketches are from the United States and England. Included are popular and less-well-known figures like John Henry Newman, Ronald Knox, Dorothy ...

Paul the Convert: The Apostolate and Apostasy of Saul the Pharisee

Alan F. Segal

Yale University Press, 1992

Excellent exegesis of Paul's influence.
Let me say at the outset that I am not a scholar and have no academic credentials. However I am reasonably well read in the history of the birth of Christianity. I bought this book because it had been well-mentioned in reviews in Anglican journals I receive. I was not disappointed. This is an excellent work written from a Jewish perspective, and as such it brings a new and exceedingly ...

Knock Knock Books, 2008

Religion by Spreadsheet
Thank goodness for the fold out spreadsheet so that I can easily choose my religion based on cost. As a 20 something cost is always an issue. Thanks to this chart I can immediately rule out Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Scientology. The sidebars on each page also offer invaluable information that is quick to absorb. I can't wait to start my own religion with the easy to follow ...

Lots of projects and lots of fun
As someone who's never been too adept at science or really enjoyed it all that much, I got my first taste of sincere, scientific satisfaction when I swallowed up Sneakiest Uses. These little projects are so simple, and they work! Now I find I'm curious about the inner-workings of all kinds of things, and I'm just hoping my boyfriend doesn't catch me taking apart the microwave.

Very Informative
This is a great book for the EV enthusiast. I was a little surprised that the pages of the book seem like xerox copies. But the quality of the information is very impressive.

The Most Reluctant Convert: C. S. Lewis's Journey to Faith

6 reviews
David C. Downing

InterVarsity Press, 2004

Intellectual Biography of The Highest Order
David Downing has achieved something quite remarkable with this book: He has succeeded in making a thoroughly researched, philosophically-heavy, intellectual biography an engrossing read. This is by no means a CS Lewis biography. It is, rather, a biography of Lewis' mind before, during and immediately after his conversion to a belief in Christ. Downing explores several avenues of Lewis' ...

Embracing the Covenant: Converts to Judaism Talk About Why & How

4 reviews

Jewish Lights Publishing, 1996

Gave me confidence in what I want!
I had this book posted to England where I was spending my year abroad. Part of the reason why I was looking forward to that time in England was the opportunity to find out whether Judaism was what I wanted in my life. This book helped immensely and gave me many thoughts to pursue in conversation with friends and my rabbi. I can only recommend it to people who contemplate conversion.

Confessions of a Convert
Robert Hugh Benson

Bridegroom Press, 2008

At the turn of the century, Robert Hugh Benson became one of the most famous converts from Anglicanism to Catholicism in England. This is his story, told in his own words. "The Unsung Genius of the Catholic Literary Revival" Benson's masterly Confessions of a Convert stands beside John Henry Newman's Apologia pro Vita Sua and Ronald Knox's A Spiritual Aeneid as a timeless classic in the literature of conversion. ~ Joseph Pearce, ...

When Only One Converts

Our Sunday Visitor, 2001

Offers hope and insight for those in mixed marriages
Mixed marriages are no picnic. For six years, my wife and I attempted to do the mixed marriage thing - sometimes attending her Church, other times attending mine, and sometimes attending both. Our story is among the 15 told in Lynn Nordhagen's book. Nordhagen's book is a twist on the popularity of current conversion story books. It offers stories of pain and honesty from couples in mixed ...

Fascinating portrait of the British literary giants
I picked it up over the weekend and was fascinated by Pierce's portrait of the 20th century Christian literary world. I could be very wrong, but I have trouble imagining any of the contemporary Christian writers interacting much with each other. But early in the 20th century, it seems things were much different. I never guessed that writers as diverse as Lewis, Sayers, Tolkien, Williams, Waugh, ...

Notes of a Jewish Convert to the LDS Church

Marlena Tanya Muchnick

Elton-Wolf Publishing, 1998

A journey to questions answered and awesome discoveries
Ms Muchnick recorded her journey in a very revealing way that left me thrilled at her discoveries. The book is a window on her life, the kind I always enjoy. She tells of her travels from a disappointing family life and a lack of basic answers about life, and about being in denial for a long time - a state that I have been in. She tells of a time of deep discouragement about life and her decision ...

Catherine Hall Myrowitz

Jason Aronson, 1995

Worth the wait
I wanted this book when I first saw it in the bookstore when it was originally published, but balked at the price, and by the time I began to think about finally getting my own copy, it seemed to have gone out of popular circulation. I eventually found a used copy for a much more reasonable price, and it was really worth the wait. I had begun reading it before, and all of the rest of the many ...
