Product Description
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.

 A spiritual "shot in the arm" December 24, 2008

(Crossposted from LibraryThing)
A wonderful account of the "coming home" of the Hahn family. Scott Hahn, now a well-known Catholic theologian and speaker, was originally a Protestant. This book is a very compelling account of how Scott found Catholicism and perfectly described the trials and tribulations he and his family endured while converting. If anyone needs a spiritual shot in their arm, this book is the perfect remedy.

Rome Sweet Home is an interestingly told story of a Journey of Faith by a couple who are already highly committed Christians. The story is told from the perspective of both spouses in turn. Because of the depth of their search, it is also nearly a catechism. Highly recommend for those wanting to know more about the Catholic Church and those in RCIA or teaching RCIA. Over the years my wife and I have personally bought and distributed more than 65 copies.

I would say that this book is extremely good for us as a beginner in finding Catholic faith. Because the contents itself is very easily to understand.
Since my background studies were in Protestant, I would like to recommend this book for anyone who just or about to enter Catholic. I just had baptised in Catholic, I am very happy and also I found so many truth are being hide in Protestant teaching.
I would like to conclude that this book is a first book (preliminary) for understanding Catholic faith. Once finished this book, we could look into others like Karl Keating book and David B. Currie.
Thanks

Interesting, but rather preachy. I think it's a well written description of a 'coming of age' of a sorts...
Very intresting... September 10, 2008

Its a very intresting book to read... I was so taken up by the book, i even put candle at night to read while others were sleeping... As for me I love my Catholic Church. Even though many others think against it, I can see Jesus in every Sacrament, every Priest and I can see the invisible hand of God in everything... If you have to know the depth of Jesus you have to know the depth of Catholic Church... Come and taste it, not just in this book but in real life....
