Official synopsis Publisher
This is the compelling story of a man born as a ‘cradle Catholic’ who left the Church at an early age to join the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the recounting of his 16 years with that sect and its inner workings, his being ‘born again’ as a Baptist minister for another 12 years, and the conclusion of his incredible spiritual journey along the ‘King’s Highway’ back to the Catholic faith. Ken Guindon uses the metaphor of the ‘Royal Road’, the El Camino Real that Spaniards have historically called their most important routes, to describe the road that the Heavenly King has led him on, and all seekers of the truth, to the Catholic Church.
Travel along this amazing spiritual odyssey as Guindon describes why he left the Church, how the Jehovah’s Witnesses so effectively proselytize for new members, how they train and control their members, their false teachings and promises, and how Catholics can counter the methods and doctrines of the Witnesses. He also gives a detailed account of his experiences as a Baptist minister and missionary, why they are so zealous and so anti-Catholic, and how he came back to Catholicism through a closer look at the Bible. An unusual, educational and powerful modern conversion story.
