Would anyone like to share their conversion story for my new book? :)

Hi everyone!

I've recently written a book on abortion, reproductive technologies, and adoption (Amazon.com).

For my next book, I would like to compile a book of "Journey to Orthodoxy" stories from converts who have interesting conversion stories or simply just heartfelt conversion stories they'd like to share. Please let me know if you'd like to be included (email: kbreck57@gmail.com), and thanks so much!

There's quite a few in the stickied Militants of TAW thread. I think I shared mine in mid-2007 or so, but I could share more details.
Oh, that's great. Thank you for letting me know. :) If you would like to share more details, I'm mainly looking for what denomination you were raised (if any), how you found Orthodoxy, and why you decided to convert. Of course, anything else you'd like to share! Thanks!

Sure, I’ll share mine with you. Although its both very short and very long, and the long version involves some slightly comical hijinks including but not limited to falling down a staircase at a Patriarchal Divine Liturgy.

There is a joke that in Orthodoxy we don’t believe in organized religion, and my conversion proves it.

I’m not entirely sure you’d want it for your book however since its obviously not the path new converts should follow. Especially the falling down the staircase bit.

That used to be a bumper sticker!

Hello! It's good to meet another author. But please be careful sharing your books (attaching a link to your books such as through Amazon), because my past posts on my books was pulled. Can't advertise (or market) our books on this website, from my experience. Good luck on your next book!
