Why read it?

1 author picked Deathbed Conversions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is a collection of stories about famous people, some who appeared very far from “believers” to the outside world, who converted to Catholicism right before their death. For some, it was in the last few minutes.

The journey to faith is one that’s personal but when shared can help others. Learning what calls people to Jesus can teach you and also affirm what you already know. It’s amazing what God does in people’s lives, and, to be honest, I needed that reminder that He is all-powerful, and that it’s never too late.
