Something Other Than God: How I Passionately Sought Happiness and Accidentally Found It

Honest and Real

I've been following Jennifer's blog for maybe 4 years now, and while I knew bits of her conversion story, this was a chance to hear about her whole journey. (Admittedly, I am a sucker for a conversion story being a Catholic convert myself.) If you are looking for Earth-shattering miracles or visions of Christ, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for an honest look at oneself, family norms, society, Catholicism and Christianity in general, check it out. This book is a reminder that while we may try to run from and deny God, He is always there; sometimes pursuing, sometimes just waiting for us.

I'm an atheist-turned-Christian and I found so much with which I could identify.  The only difference is that my conversion happened as a teenager instead of as an adult.  The chapter on digging fossils was excellent, especially as I was also one of those kids with existential questions.

I cannot recommend the book highly enough, especially for those thinking about becoming Catholic or Christian but who are afraid.  I wish it had been around 19 years ago when I was a 15 year old and dealing with all of this.

This book is for everybody. For those who are searching for the meaning in life, the rock-solid atheist, the convert, the devout Catholic. It is an amazing story of a woman's journey from cradle Atheism to her awakening to the truths of the universe. As a baby being born, she struggles inch by inch to discover a new reality that brings her peace beyond her wildest dreams. One reviewer said they read the book in one sitting. I could have done the same but I wanted to relive Fulwiler's experience and savor  the joy in the  revelations of her conversion. I highly recommend this book.

I read this book cover-to-cover in one sitting - it was so riveting I couldn't put it down. It's a fascinating, heartrending journey from atheism and despair to faith and redemption. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended but....

I purchased this book couple of days ago and i dont know why i couldnt open it now in my library.. :(

Highly Recommended

This is the account of an atheist's journey from non-belief to belief, told in an easy-reading narrative. While it is the story of how she returned to the Catholic faith into which she was born, it is not piously stuffy. I found it to be quite enjoyable and recommend it to anyone who might be searching for the Truth.
