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."

Neato! I’ll have to show the girls! We were blessed to watch the lunar eclipse the other night on our way home from Florida.

Amazing picture.

Thank you mister astronomer to take up your telescope time, booked months in advance, for this color photo instead of your personal research of more useful black and white spectral readouts.
