Jimmy Swaggart Made Me Catholic DVD

What chronicle of a champion won't reveal a narrative that explains his past and guides his future? The same is true of those who, through the help of God, come to see the truth and embrace it as their own. For Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics Tim Staples, that story begins in the back seat of a police car as a rowdy teenager growing up with his equally rowdy brothers. Let me put it this way, Tim says, the police officers in Fairfax County, Virginia, knew all of us on a first-name basis. Fortunately, the story doesn t end there. Striving to straighten out his life, Tim returned to his Protestant roots, and seeking greater discipline in his life he eventually joined the U.S. Marine Corps. And that, Tim says, is when things really started getting interesting in his life. You see, there was this fellow Marine who Tim a true-blue Protestant at the time challenged to defend his faith. This Marine was a Catholic. His name was Matt Dula. And Corporal Matt Dula was unlike any Catholic Tim had ever met. I had a Catholic ready, willing, and able to share his faith with me, Tim recalls, and he, shall we say, rocked my world. The power of story is its ability to put flesh and blood, a face and a personality, to the truth. No wonder God uses story to reveal himself. And now, for those already familiar with Tim Staples work as a world-renowned author, speaker and thinker on the Catholic faith, his story is available in a new Catholic Answers DVD Jimmy Swaggart Made Me Catholic. As the title might suggest, it s a story that only Tim Staples could tell. With the same down-to-earth mixture of self-effacing humor and passionate love for his hard-won and newfound Catholic faith, Tim offers an hour's worth of heartwarming stories and thought-provoking insights into the Church, Scripture, and what it means to discover, embrace, and live out the Catholic faith first handed down from Christ to the apostles. Perfect for anyone looking to bring faith alive for family, friends, or co-workers exploring the Catholic faith, Jimmy Swaggart Made Me Catholic shows how a die-hard Protestant came to realize that the Protestant faith which he sought to defend has no real response to the truths espoused by the Catholic Church. In fact, at Jimmy Swaggart Bible College (now World Evangelism Bible College) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Tim spent some time regrouping his forces after meeting Matt Dula, the faculty and Tim's fellow students could not offer anything but half-truths, myths, and out-and-out lies about the Catholic Church as a defense of their own position. If you or someone you know has bought into such distortions of the Catholic Church, consider owning a copy of Jimmy Swaggart Made Me Catholic.
