As a well-educated college English professor, she saw no need for just-so stories about God. Secure in her fortress of atheism, she was safe (or so she thought) from any assault by irrational faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what happened? How did she come to \"lay down her arms\" in surrender to Christ and then, a few years later, enter the Catholic Church?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the moving account of her unusual journey. It is the story of an academic becoming convinced of the truth of Christianity on rational grounds -- but also the account of God's grace acting in and through her imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the tale of an unfolding, developing relationship with God -- told with directness and honesty -- and of a painful surrender at the foot of the Cross. It is the account of a lifelong, transformative love of reading and the story of how a competitive fencer put down her sabre to pick up the sword of the Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this book is a tale of grace, acting in and through human beings but always issuing from God and leading back to Him. And it is the story of a woman being brought home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Holly Ordway\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English and Director of the MA in Cultural Apologetics at Houston Baptist University.
