The stories reveal that there is not just one \"\"conversion story.\"\" Scot McKnight and Hauna Ondrey show that \"\"conversion theory\"\" helps explain why some people walk away from one religion, often to another, very different religion. The book confirms the usefulness--particularly for pastors, rabbis, and priests, and university and college teachers--of applying conversion theory to specific groups. However, the book's sensitive detailing of the stories themselves makes conversion more than a theoretical occurrence; it makes the immediacy, and often the difficulty, of conversion both real and moving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book stirs deep reflection on the faith journeys of courageous people.  -Lewis Rambo, San Francisco Theological Seminary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion: What Really Happens?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Leaving Church, Finding Freedom \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnatomy of Apostasy\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Leaving the Synagogue, Finding the Church\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhen Jews Become Messianic Jews \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Leaving Rome, Finding Wheaton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ci\u003eCatholics Behaving Protestantly\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Leaving Wheaton, Finding Rome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Improbable Conversion of Evangelicals to Catholicism\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771123827031,"sku":"9781602581623","price":29.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781602581623.jpg?v=1758726420","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/finding-faith-losing-faith-stories-of-conversion-and-apostasy-9781602581623","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
