Atheist Author Reveals SHOCKING Path to Christianity

Celebrated author, poet and environmentalist Paul Kingsnorth shares about his reluctant, yet shocking conversion from atheism to Buddhism and Wicca, and finally finding Christ in Orthodox Christianity. Paul further shares on his experience of being the Most Reluctant Convert, or the Prodigal son. An experience mirrored by C.S. Lewis. One of many powerful testimonies of Jesus Christ at work!

[The Full interview with Seen and Unseen with Justin Brierley can be found here:

The original one hour interview with Belle and Justin can be found in the description! His reference to CS Lewis makes his conversion story worth reflecting on :
“You must picture me alone in that room in Magdalen, night after night, feeling, whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. That which I greatly feared had at last come upon me. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England. I did not then see what is now the most shining and obvious thing; the Divine humility which will accept a convert even on such terms. The Prodigal Son at least walked home on his own feet. But who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words “compelle intrare,” compel them to come in, have been so abused be wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.”

In illustrating God’s love for us when we finally , however reluctantly, come back to him from Luke 15 :

“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
I pray that you come to the father through the son, if you’ve not done so already
Christ is King & Every Knee will bow, absolutely

[Witness]

Dear brothers and sisters.

Please pray for me. For 15 years I have been struggling with debilitating sickness that's made my life unberable. I am in my mid 30 and would love to still have streingth to serve my Savior and Lord.

Jesus is my Healer. Thank you all 🙏🏻

Please also pray that God grants me strength to go through this valley with humility and thankfulness.

Please also pray that the fire of Holy Spirit would be with me.

God bless you all. 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

[davidcloyd]

His initial point is something most overlooked which is that while yes, there are many religions that worship many gods, the overall point is that man as a whole has always believed that God must exist. This fact is profound and narrows the focus on which God is the Truth.

[lmb]

St Augustine said that our hearts are restless until they rest in God.

[TWSummary]

I will forever blame the Church for leading me towards atheism. My own Dawkins phase.

But I will also forever thank the Church for giving me the opportunity to return to faith by the hands of Jesus, Himself.

A great honor to believe in Jesus not by virtue of my birth, but by the grace of Christ, Himself.

I see so many judgmental comments here saying crap like “this guy isn’t really saved yet”…. Shame on all of you, people like you are what keeps others away from Christianity.

[MsDormy]

Wonderful! The gift of YT is to share these stories of people finding Christ. I hope that many come to find Him through listening to such wonderful people sharing how they found His Truth. God bless us all 🙏❤️❤️❤️

[CynVee]

Praise God. I love this mans authenticity and self-deprecating manner. Welcome home 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️

[paulmilligan]

In something Paul says about his spiritual journey, I was reminded of GK Chesterton who once wrote that happiness is ro search the world for a perfect place and to arrive home and find it.

[peterbassey]

Jesus - it begins and ends with Jesus!!!

[robertcain]

Neither did Paul of Tarsus want to be a believer in Christ. Nor did I.

[jeshua_deus_est]

Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen! – – – If you are unwilling to believe in the Creator of Everything; God the Father and His Son; Jesus then you are doomed to be deceived into believing in evolution and ETs (aliens) as our progenitors…. God help us all not to fall victim to this “great deception” in the name of Jesus, Amen! (Psalm 14:1 KJV, Matthew 24:24 KJV, 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 KJV and to avoid deception John 3:16 KJV) – – – Fear not! All that can be will be saved!
