Scott and Kimberly Hahn are a married couple who met in seminary and converted from Presbyterianism to Catholicism. As a practicing Catholic, it was interesting to read about a book on this subject from a non-Catholic’s point of view. Scott Hahn considered himself anti-Catholic before he converted to Catholicism, and his wife Kimberly was so against becoming a Catholic that she kept calling their marriage a “split marriage” as if they practiced two completely different religions after Scott converted. However, both Scott and Kimberly converted, and this memoir tells about their journey in doing so.
