Editorial Review:
The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his "enemy" had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous "dark night of the soul" after Scott converted to Catholicism.
Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony.
Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns' deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.

A single and interesting experience around human being and his need to go through the deep of his soul. A wonderfull withness of the dayly life and a sane relationship between a man and a woman.
Rating: - insightful
The book arrived quickly after ordering. The perspective the book provides is that of a non-Catholic to begin with, which is interesting. The basis for the book is the Bible and there are plenty of references for those who doubt the accuracy of the book itself. Highly informative and makes me, as a Catholic, confident to spread the word.

The journey of faith is personal, yet it's fun to read about others searching, even if their approach, or where they end up, might be very different from one's own. "Rome Sweet Rome" has its moments, though I found Hahn's pedantic approach to conversion off-putting. Why are there so few negative reviews of the unbelievable amount of pure drivel this man has "mass" produced? Pun intended.
Words, sola scriptura, and authority matter a lot to Hahn. How can he consistently avoid writing ... Read More
Rating:  - Once an Evangelical....
This was an interesting book, but what I learned from it was surprising. What was notable was not their conversion from Protestant to Catholic, but the fact that they were Evangelicals, and remained that way regardless. The husband's story is full of zeal and enthusiasm and the wife's is loaded with struggle and torment. The book was way too dramatic, and I wonder if the couple converted not because of their love for Catholicism, but for their love of Scripture, which they analyzed for what seemed ... Read More
Rating: - A Beautiful Story
This may sound like a tangent, but it's highly relevant. This Easter Vigil, I will be receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. What's incredibly ironic about that statement is that just two to three years ago, I fiercely hated Roman Catholicism -- despite considering myself a devout Christian! I attended an evangelical, nondenominational church, a church that taught me be disgusted with the Catholic Church's positions on transubstantiation, the Virgin Mary (and the ... Read More
