Author: Jimmy Akin
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."

The APE in the middle isn’t one of the Monkees, but maybe we could put the following song on the primate’s lips–even if the Monkees never performed it.
“Oh, well there’s Flo on my left arm
and there’s Mary on my right
And Jenny is the girl … well …
that I’ll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I’ll tear open my shirt
and show her Rosie on my chest
‘Cause I’m the wanderer, yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around, around….”
