Favorite recent conversion story

[Eliza Thomason]

I have always enjoyed conversion stories, and my latest favorite is Roy Schoeman's, a (previous) Harvard Business School faculty member and Jewish and author of "Salvation is From the Jews". I have listened to this twice now, not only this but the further one that comes afterward because is it all interesting. I like that he attained his highest goals, and when he got there he found it all empty, and in that quiet emptiness he then he finds God. This is along the same lines that I came to Christ, during my college years, after I sought to attain successes and experiences (not as lofy as his, but, meaningful achievements to me) only to see the emptiness of them after attaining them. In the quiet, then one finds God.

and the talk here:

P.S. Editing to add, the video is much better, because the really interesting details are in the video that are not inthe writing. Like in his mystical experiences. He was not seeking mystical experiences, and true mystics tend not to be seekignthis. He had the essential thing, though, a yearning to know God (as long as he wasn't Christian!). God does not violate our free will... yet, still, He led Schoeman to his heart's yearning.
