Have you ever wondered why I became Catholic? Why did I, a rebellious kid, then a Methodist youth minister, converted to Catholicism while working with Dr. Jerry Falwell at Liberty University? Why did I make the decision that would cost me all of my friends, cause most of my family to reject me, cost me jobs and status, cause my fiancée to leave me and make me an outcast in my home town? If you are curious about my story or the Catholic Church, or know someone who is, Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faith by Judson Carroll (me) would make a great Christmas gift for your friends, family loved ones or yourself.
