review 1: Allen Hunt's story is compelling: he was the pastor of the largest mega church in the Southeast (the third largest in the nation) and was doing incredibly well when he finally gave all that up to become a Catholic. He crafts a great story comparing the Catholic Church to a very old house full of different gifts you don't realize are there. This is a good read comparing Catholicism and Protestantism from someone who has been a great scholar of both, told as a great preacher might in a way that all can relate to. He notes the biggest group of Christians is Catholics and that the second largest group is Catholics who no longer attend church or who have switched to mega churches and other alternatives. Hunt has an outsider's perspective as well as a convert's zeal, showing Cat... moreholics and former Catholics the big picture of what the church is a all about, points most might miss.
review 2: WOW! Easy read. Allen Hunt's epiphany and journey to Catholic convert makes you stop and think - - and appreciate this incredible gift that Christ gives to us. Now it is up to us as Catholic Christians to honor that gift and preserve our authentic Catholic heritage. "This Old House" metaphor that Hunt uses enables you to view the sacraments of the Catholic Church with childlike eyes and wonder. Enjoy! less
