Why would intelligent, successful people give up their careers, alienate their friends, and cause havoc in their families...to become Catholic? Indeed, why would anyone become Catholic?
As an evangelist and author who recently threw my own life into some turmoil by deciding to enter the Catholic Church, I've faced this question a lot lately. That is one reason I decided to make this documentary; it's part of my attempt to try to explain to those closest to me why I would do such a crazy thing.
Convinced isn't just about me, though. The film is built around interviews with some of the most articulate and compelling Catholic converts in our culture today, including Scott Hahn, Francis Beckwith, Taylor Marshall, Holly Ordway, Abby Johnson, Jeff Cavins, Devin Rose, Matthew Leonard, Mark Regnerus, Jason Stellman, John Bergsma, Christian Smith, Kevin Vost, David Currie, Richard Cole, and Kenneth Howell. It also contains special appearances by experts in the field of conversion such as Patrick Madrid and Donald Asci.
Ultimately, this is a story about finding truth, beauty, and fulfillment in an unexpected place, and then sacrificing to grab on to it. I think it will entertain and inspire you, and perhaps even give you a fresh perspective on an old faith.

BTW, “The Pagan Christian Connection” is a very good read.

Please be honest!
There are numerous verses that make it very clear that we must endure in love and faith to the end.
A whole chapter in Hebrews deals with this fact.

It’s almost my Sunday evening bedtime. Please help a lazy man out: Is Rood synonymous with The Way International?
It seems the Holy Spirit was.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Or don't even bother to read them.
“...those who are unlearned and ignorant (of the Torah, the basic instruction from the Creator) wrestle Shaul's words to their own destruction. (II Peter 3:15-16) MIV" [The Pagan Christian Connection Exposed., 2004, Bridge-Logos]
That is just a line from a teaching.
When someone denies the Trinity, the Deity of the Holy Spirit, salvation by grace through faith apart from works and the assurance we HAVE been given so that we can KNOW we are redeemed and have eternal life, I think it’s wise to consider the source of such blasphemy and rebuke it. Also, praying for those who are thus deceived helps as well, though God will not force Himself upon those who refuse to receive the knowledge of the truth that they might be saved. Who knows how much time we have left.

No, it was a reference to his version of scripture. MIV stands for what he calls his “Marine Infantry Version”.
Don’t Freepmail me again making it personal when it’s forbidden on the RF.
I don’t think FReepmail is meant to be used to evade RF guidelines.
That is where he got his start and that is where he married his wife.
I agree. And we need point out the errors lest others fall for the deceit.
No, he has no such “version of scripture.”
He uses the MIV notation when he corrects something in a teaching.
If he did have such a compilation, it would sell well; there is considerable demand for the purely imaginary volume.

>> “That is where he got his start and that is where he married his wife” <<

That is utter rubbish!
Shame!
Michael Rood was ordained by The Way International. Why would you deny his affiliation with them?
Better that you know what you’re dealing with.
