A Woman Rides the Beast

[Lapell]

If I may address another issues. Please remember that YOU will not convert anyone to the Church. That is the job of the holy Spirit.

I reccomend that you do not fight fire with fire. In other words, do not give him Karl Keating’s book or any other refutation to the calumny he has accepted and is spreading. YOU take the high road. I recommend this book too often perhaps but it is very good and might soften his heart: Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic by David Currie. Once he has softened, then give him Karl Keatings book or some of the other refutations.

Assuming that what you said about the relationship is accurate, I agree with the others. Go slow!

Also a very good advice!

My boyfriend, whom I love very much and want to convert to Catholicism, gave me A Woman Rides the Beast by Dave Hunt to read. Out of respect, I read it. It was full of so many lies that I have no idea how to begin refuting them. Are any of you familiar with Mr. Hunt’s book? If so, could you please help me? I really want to marry my boyfriend some day, but at this point in time it would not be possible due to our differences of opinion. He is a Fundamentalist.

I saw lots of good posts to articles and books, but I would also add that you could listen to Scott Hahn’s conversion story together. I believe you can download it off the internet for free. They also sell hard copies on CD at my local Catholic Bookstore for about $5, and there is an audio resource center at my church that offers his conversion story for a small donation. You can check your local parrish and/or Catholic Bookstore as well.

I think the CD puts a human face on the act of conversion to Catholicism. It is also thoroughly enjoyable as Dr. Hahn is a great speaker.

God bless you as you work through this thorny issue with your boyfriend.

Peace,
Robert
