Dear Steve,
I just received the gift you sent me and have to say thank you. My name is Scott Cowen and I guess my mom sent you a thank you for your YouTube videos. Your video taught me about Mary in a way I never heard it as a young adult and brought me back to the Catholic Church.
Since that time I have restored, as well as any sinner can, my relationship with the Lord. And although I have been reading the Bible for the last many years I had – as you call them – Protestant glasses on. Before your video, which I honestly wasn’t going to watch until the Holy Spirit strongly prompted me, I had never heard of typology.
Now it seems as thought I can’t get away from it. You and other apologists have made so clear what I just skipped over in the past. Now I see it relating to not just Mary but Jesus, the Eucharist and the Church. It’s as if there were hidden away in my Bible a whole other book.
I now am not only a Catholic again but more devout then I would have ever been had I not wandered away in the first place. I have committed my self to fervent study of the book and the church teachings. I also attend Mass daily. I’m in the process of baptizing my children and converting my wife but I won’t let it stop there. I have a new zeal for God and want everyone to know even with my minimal knowledge.
My wife told me a year ago I could find a new church as long as it wasn’t Catholic, oops. And also that she desired to see the Holy Land and now I know who will be my guide when we have it all in place. I thank you again for your help in unveiling my eyes. And pray you and your ministry find everyone who has been lost because I know now that it is truly the church that Christ founded.
Funny how until now I never had a “coming to Jesus story” like many of my Protestant brothers and sisters, maybe because I had walked away from the truth. Again thank you for the GIFT and the book and cds also.
Your reunited brother in Christ,
Scott

God Bless, welcome!
Thanks be to God, Scott! I believe that if more Catholics were exposed to Steve’s work (and that of other notable convert apologists), they would have a similar experience of renewal. We converts should assume a major role in the New Evangelization! I have a feeling the Church is really going to be relying on us before long.
Your BIC,
Darrell
