Great book: It argues the essentials of Christian orthodoxy, salvation and sanctification based on a husband and wife’s story of their journey from the Protestant Church to the Roman Catholic Church. It's a very exciting and a short book. It not only chronicles the events of the authors' journey

but their personal trauma and difficulty in being open to and guided by the one truth and following where it will lead. It’s inspiring because it gives insight into the human side of being surrendered to God and ultimately finding the great prize.

Great book, very inspiring and engaging. The authors have a great writing style and a lot of thought provoking things to say.

A wonderful account of the "coming home" of the Hahn family. Scott Hahn, now a well-known Catholic theologian and speaker, was originally a Protestant. This book is a very compelling account of how Scott found Catholicism and perfectly described the trials and tribulations he and his family endured

while converting. If anyone needs a spiritual shot in their arm, this book is the perfect remedy.

A very well-written book by a husband and wife, both sharing their experiences of how God led them to the Catholic Church.

I love conversion stories and have always enjoyed listening to Dr Scott Hahn, a famous convert, who brings complex theological issues down to a level that even *I* can understand so I thought the book by he and his wife, Kimberly, Rome Sweet Home, would be a happy story.

Well, it didn’t start out

that way! I knew they had a happy ending because both they and their children made it into the Catholic Church many years ago but the book covered the whole process of their discovery of the fullness of Truth of the Catholic Church. First Kimberly made the discovery that the Church was correct about contraception (this book was written in the early 1990s by the way). Then Scott questioned one tenet of Protestantism, sola fide, and for him, that started unraveling the whole ball of yarn. He fought his conversion every step of the way, at least in the beginning and Kimberly, while being a supportive wife, fought the idea and prayed and read books and prayed some more.

It was a real page-turner for me and made me respect the Hahns’ struggles to get to where they are today.

The unusual story of two anti catholic Presbyterians to Roman Catholicism.

LibraryThing member gmicksmith

The couple converted to the Catholic Church but what is unusual is that the husband was a Presbyterian Minister and the wife was a top-notch theology student in the Seminary.
