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."

Thank God for this modern technology. All while using our own stem cells! How wonderful is that! God is good, indeed!
OKAY, ROLF IS DONE. REPEATED RULE 1 VIOLATIONS. ONE-LINE DIGS REGARDING THE BLOG HOST’S APPEARANCE DO NOT COUNT AS POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO A RATIONAL DISCUSSION.
Thanks, Benjamin. I needed that. 😉
