Ken talks with Holly Ordway “Not God’s Type: An Atheist Academic Lays Down Her Arms” (Ignatius Press) and Chad Torgerson “Waking Up Catholic: A Guide to Catholic Beliefs for Converts, Reverts, and Anyone Becoming Catholic” (Assisi Media).

Holly, an atheist academic, was convinced that faith was superstitious nonsense. As a well-educated college English professor, she saw no need for just-so stories about God. Secure in her fortress of atheism, she was safe (or so she thought) from any assault by irrational faith. So what happened? How did she come to “lay down her arms” in surrender to Christ and then, a few years later, enter the Catholic Church?  Holly’s book can be purchased at: http://www.ignatius.com/Products/NGT-H/not-gods-type.aspx
