The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his enemy had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous dark night of the soul after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony. Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns' deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.

Rome Sweet Home Our Journey to Catholicism Scott Hahn PhD Kimberly Hahn 9780898704785 Books Reviews

• Oh my goodness. I have never found something I have related to as much as this. Scott Hahn's journey is so much like mine and he and Kimberly's struggle to accept that Catholicism was okay was so easy for me to relate to. It was so comforting to see that I wasn't alone. I am so excited that I got to throw this book in the mix of my study materials. I have recently decided to convert to Catholicism and I am reading like crazy and this book was so great to add to my mix. It was easy enough to read and understand for even someone who doesn't have a firm foundation in theology. And my friend who is a firm anti-Catholic told me not to read this. And she was most certainly right! This book could convince any Protestant I'm 100% sure it could. What an excellent read. I felt all of the emotions Scott and Kimberly felt. I don't write reviews for everything, but if I love a product, I will. And here I am writing this review. It's so excellent, I found Scott's contact information and send him a thank you note. I can't wait for my next readings Summa Theologica and the Catechism.
  
  11/10 recommend you buy this book
• A motivational and inspiring account by a husband & wife couple who started off as rabid anti-Catholics who, through intellectual honesty and open-mindedness as well as spiritual inspiration and open hearts, made the faith journey to the staunch Catholic apologetics that they are now. Chockfull of quote worthy, highlight-worthy passages. A worthy companion piece to the works of Karl Keating and Patrick Madrid in providing the spiritual ammunition to defend one's Catholic faith against the non-stop and misguided accusations of so-called "Bible Christians." Dominus Vobiscum.
  
  --p. 5 "Please understand, my ardent anti-Catholicism sprang from a zeal for God and a charitable desire to help Catholics be Christians. And it was the Catholics who could outdrink and outswear me before I became a Christian, so I knew how much help they needed." Haha.
  
  --p. 10 "Kimberly means 'warrior maiden' in Gaelic." Och aye, lass, ye learn something new every day!
  
  --p. 16 "For one thing, I learned that many so-called Bible Christians prefer to base their beliefs on feelings, without praying and thinking through Scripture."
  
  --p. 21 "On September 31," say what?!?! Typo??
  
  --p. 28 "So I resorted to an old family saying 'Even a blind hog can find an acorn.' I mean, after two thousand years, the Catholic Church was bound to get something right." I thought it was a blind squirrel, but eh, why nitpick?
  
  "Sometimes we would get together on Friday nights, meeting at Howard Johnson’s or some local pub for pizza and beer in order to talk theology until three in the morning," well, at least they weren't the militant teetotaller holier-than-thou temperance types!
  
  p. 30 "In fact, I discovered that nowhere did Saint Paul ever teach that we were justified by faith alone! Sola fide was unscriptural!" But so many "Bible Christians" are too closed-minded to ever acknowledge this fact.
  
  --p. 32 "In James 2 24, the Bible teaches that 'a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.' Besides, Saint Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13 2, '. . . if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.'"
  
  --p. 41 "We gradually became convinced that Martin Luther let his theological convictions contradict the very Scripture that he supposedly chose to obey rather than the Catholic Church."
  
  --p. 44 "I had already shown my parishioners that the one and only place where Christ used the word 'covenant' was when he instituted the Eucharist, or communion, as we called it. Yet we only took communion four times a year."
  
  p. 45 "Next I took my parishioners through the Gospel of John, and, much to my shock, I discovered that the Gospel was loaded with sacramental imagery."
  
  --p. 52 "'Yeah, 2 Thessalonians 2 15”' I said weakly. 'What does that say again?' 'Paul tells the Thessalonians, "So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter."'"
  
  --p. 53 "'**you really can’t demonstrate sola scriptura from Scripture. The Bible doesn’t expressly declare that it is the Christian’s only authority.** In other words, Scott, sola scriptura is essentially the historic confession of the Reformers, over and against the Catholic claim that it is Scripture plus the Church and Tradition. For us, then, it is a theological presupposition, our starting point rather than a proven conclusion.'" [emphasis added] WOW!!
  
  --p. 99 "After finishing one particularly exciting session—on 'A Biblical Explanation of Indulgences'—an older parishioner named Joe announced, 'Yep, sometimes it takes an immigrant to explain it for the natives.'" Haha, true enough, kinda like with patriotism, i.e. naturalised citizens schooling native-born ones.
  
  --p. 175 "We appreciated our evangelical tradition, where people sing and pray wholeheartedly. So, one of the elements of worship our family has most appreciated at Franciscan University is the way people participate. As Scott says, 'If the Eucharist doesn’t make you want to sing, what would?'" And as more than one of my priests and fellow Catholic lay members has said, "When you sing, you pray twice."
  
  --p. 179 "Let’s face it, many of these non-Catholics put us to shame. With Bible in hand, plus lots of zeal, they do far more with less than many Catholics who have the fullness of Faith in the Church but who are famished and fast asleep. We share with them so much of the truth about Christ in Scripture; but what they lack is nothing less than the real and substantial presence of Christ in the Eucharist. To state it simply, they study the menu while we enjoy the Meal!"
• Could not put this down. As a cradle a Catholic, I cannot explain my faith as well as Scott and Kimberly Hahn. They are an amazing couple and a testament to one, holy, catholic and apostolic faith. To have done the research that Scott did and affirm that we are the true Church is a testament to his integrity . Will be recommending this book to anyone who wants to know more about Catholicism.
• I joined the church back in 2004, but wandered away for far too long. Recently, I have felt God calling me back, so I bought this to help me along. Written from the perspective of both writers, this is an approachable book with a lot of emotional insight. It is a relatively short and easy read. I quickly and eagerly devoured the material. I highly recommend this title to anyone who is interested in learning about the Roman Catholic Church.
• This book made me appreciate my faith and gave me an outline to defend it. I was so inspired that I bought a copy for each of my parents. It helped me better appreciate their marriage, even through all the struggles. I think everyone can relate to Kimberly Hahn, especially. She reminds me of Peter. I saw much of their struggles in my parents marriage, and the way they handled themselves gave a beautiful perspective of how my parents could also do better.
  My mother had qualms about Mary and saints prior to reading this book, just a month ago. Instantly she started reading apologetics and I have truly never seen my parents so happy together. Coming back from college for the summer, I feel like the odd one out, because they are best friends.
  What I'm trying to say is that this book spurred my conversion, my mom's, and my dad's... all in one semester.
• Reading this book has had exerted an effect on my spirituality nothing short of profound. I have a deepened awe for the beautiful truths preserved by the Catholic Church, and a newfound ability to defend my faith using the scriptural basis that is intimately intertwined with the Church. This is truly a love story a love story between Christ and his Church, conveyed through the lens of the love story between Scott and Kimberly. A must read for any Catholic or for any person wanting to learn more about the real truths of the Catholic Church.
• A surprising book in that the non-catholic churches teach that Rome is so wrong...That the earliest document from the church in the first centuries support the Roman catholic church. Easy reading by someone who confronted the issues as to why the Roman catholics were wrong and found that the Roman catholic church is home.
