Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Thank you for posting this video! Last October, I had a conversation with a friend who was trying to convince me of the pagan origins of Halloween, and I can only imagine that a similar conversation will be forthcoming as we approach Easter Sunday. Thank you for the helpful information!
Jimmy, I signed up for this awhile back. I haven’t received any emails since Feb. 20th. Did I get caught in a glitch?
Thanks,
Sue from Buffalo
Sue: I’ll email you privately to sort this out. 🙂
wonderful post, very informative. I wonder why the other experts of this sector don’t notice this. You must continue your writing. I’m confident, you have a huge readers’ base already!
