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."

  2. They ate pretty well didn’t they! I’d have been glad to have dined with them…but not the ostrich..I couldn’t have eaten that…I particularly liked the look of the recipes for Roast Tuna and also the Nut Tart. Interesting.
    God Bless

  4. Hmm. Looks interesting, so long as we don’t have to force ourselves to vomit afterwards. 🙂

  6. Ostrich is actually quite good. It tastes like beef but not quite as much flavor as say a New York cut.

  7. All washed down with copious quantities of rough red wine – out of pewter goblets, where the wine disolved the lead in the pewter and eventually sent some of the Romans mad.

  9. +J.M.J+
    Ah, *authentic* Italian cuisine! 🙂 Yum. You’ll probably never see it prepared on the Food Network, though.
    (I’m Italian, BTW)
    In Jesu et Maria,
