Christian: A Modern Prodigal Son–A Story of Redemption and Reconversion

Christian shares his remarkable story about leaving the Gospel at a young age and what prompted his return to the Church years later. He speaks openly about what led him away from the Church and then shares the incredible story of what led him to return to his family and to the Church and to then choose a life of complete spiritual devotion.

Further Reading in Faith Is Not Blind:

“The Lord really can’t save us without our freely chosen initiative, energy, desires, and wholehearted participation. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it. . . The Savior offers the grace of His saving blessings only as we willingly participate in our own deliverance by choosing to believe Him, then by exerting all our strength to follow Him.”

(Faith Is Not Blind, Chapter 10 “Choosing to Believe,” p. 87)
