    Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Kimberly Hahn - Presentation Transcript

    1. Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Kimberly Hahn Great Book! 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
    2. 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. Personal Review: Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism by Kimberly Hahn In very conversational language, both Scott Hahn and his wife Kimberly detail their long and sometimes agonizing journey into the Catholic Church. Their stories are interspersed with deep insights and well-placed morsels of humor. Scott has always been a very committed young man--both to his wife and his faith. As a Presbyterian seminarian and minister, he even tried to save his Catholic friends from the certain error of their ways. As the Hahns tell their story, you can see the hand of God gently guiding them--using their own zeal to lead them ever so gradually home to Rome. Scott's wit shows through when Kimberly explains to him how the Catholic Church was right on birth control. "Even a blind pig can find a truffle," he quips. But as he discovers more and more areas in which the Catholics "got it right," he is at first surprised, then amused, and finally horrified of the implications for himself and his family. Here his tremendous integrity shows strong. Scott's prayer is that he will do the Lord's will--no matter what. With incredible courage, he faces the loss of his career in the Presbyterian church, loss of friends, and maybe damaging his relationship with his wife. But Kimberly's love for Scott carries her through as she allows him to follow his conscience in spite of the pain it causes her. And Scott's patience allows Kimberly to discover the same truths in her own time. Rome Sweet Home is as much a love story as one of conversion. Evident throughout the book is the sacrificial love Scott and Kimberly have for each other--and the burning love they both have for God. MUST READING for anyone considering the Catholic Church--and for lukewarm believers wanting to rekindle their faith!
