Confessions of a Convert

By: Robert Hugh Benson

Narrated by: Richard T Holt

Robert Hugh Benson (1871 - 1914) was an English Anglican priest who left the Anglican church to became a Roman Catholic priest in 1904. He was a prolific writer (perhaps most famous for his fictional book Lord of the World), who also progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911.

In this audiobook he recounts his life, focusing mostly on his decision to join the Roman Catholic church. It is a powerful story of the journey of a man who withstood the social pressures of his time to do what he thought was right.

Moving Story

Amoving story of Brnson's journey into the Catholic Church that shows his appreciation and gratitude to the Anglican Church. The only drawback was the tendency of the narrator to run his sentences together. Needs to take a breath more often, but overall, a good book.
