All believers have a story to tell, a story of forgiveness and grace, a story of how God's provision in Jesus Christ met the deepest needs of a human heart.
Conversion is "a radical change, a transformation, a turning around, . . . . a conscious act, not an event passively experienced. For the Christian, the changed life of the converted is the outward expression of a changed hear." (from The New International Dictionary of the Christian Church).
The stories in this compilation by Samuel Fisk portray the personal, life-changing experiences behind the definition.
For many of the persons presented in this volume, conversion was only the beginning of many years of dedicated Christian service and, for some, widespread fame and recognition by their contemporaries. The focus of Forty Fascinating Conversion Stories, however, is upon the actual circumstances and decisions that resulted in a changed heart.
Included in this collection are the dramatic conversion stories of evangelist "Gypsy" Smith, African missionary David Livingstone, American evangelist and Bible school founder Dwight L. Moody, the author of Pilgrim's Progress John Bunyan, founder of the Navigators Dawson Trotman and many others.
A real joy.
