DESCRIPTION:
Paul, so rich, virtuosic, and memorable that the temptation to shout its highlights from the rooftops grapples with the contrary desire to give almost nothing away, the better to let interested readers discover its deep well of poignantly challenging charms for themselves. Suffice it to say that if there's a more accomplished chronicler of existential ambivalence alive today, please bring him or her to my attention. In the meantime, Oliver Broudy's growing collection of Kindle Singles will do just fine. Erin Mounsey is a survivor of horrific burns whose backstory is widely available online. The Convert, too, tells his story, but this is no mere pedestrian profile; rather it is a tale that reads as if it were almost palpably difficult for its unapologetic atheist author to tell. This is the story of one man's odyssey from
This is the story of one man and one moment, the moment of God’s triumph, or sanity’s defeat.. The deepest riddle of Christianity is only this: How could anyone possibly believe it? In answer to this question, The Convert tells the true story of one man’s punishing journey across the extremes of human experience, through fire and heartbreak, passion and betrayal, prison and madness, to the very brink of belief
"Yes, yes, yes. It's me. I am Erin Mounsey!" according to Erin Mounsey. Bravo Broudy!The Convert captures a crazy spiritual journey with insight for anyone questioning or sure of their convictions. While Oliver and I will, for now, see the events of Nov. 17, 2010 very differently. He captures the journey colorfully and with exceptional questioning insight. That he was able to stomach this story of revelation with barely furrowing a brow on the surface was amazing. Myself, two years ago, I would have had to walk away from a ridiculous story like this with disbelief and incredulity. Yet, Broudy stayed in the game and thoughtfully captured a human experience tha. "One man's odyssey from atheism to belief in God" according to J. Chambers. I read a fair number of Kindle Singles, and I check every few days for new releases. I'm glad I checked this morning and saw "The Convert" listed. It was one of those "can't-put-it-down-until-I-finish-it" stories, perhaps the most intriguing Single I've read. Erin Mounsey's story of surviving and recovering from horrific burns that would have killed most people was remarkable enough, but combined with the author's intermingled thread about atheism versus belief in God made for a really unique story.The story began with the 1999 house fire that severely burned Erin and his girlfriend Megan. The Convert Andi A complicated read for many but for me a challenge. The writer is very high brow in his tale telling and wording. The story is really intriguing, it kept me reading on and on to find out what this guys thing really was. Was he going to convert or not? What made it so wonderfully complex was that he was wonderfully complex. A tragic life trying to make sense of what has happened to him. He was like all of us in one way or another I think everyone will relate to the main character even is we don't share his exact tragedy. Deep, really a chasm of experiences, feelings, from elation to the de
