b'Joseph Pearce was born the son of a fierce anti-Catholic in the late\\n1960s. Hear the story of how God\'s grace carried a young, uneducated\\n"agnostic Protestant bigot" who was "racist to the core" into the\\nMystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church. \\n
Now a professor of English Literature at Ave Maria University\\nand the author of 147 books, including notable autobiographies of 20th\\nCentury\'s greatest Catholic writers, his conversion is a story of\\nprovidence triumphing over political anger, racial hatred and\\nviolence. While serving his first prison sentence for "publishing\\nmaterial likely to incite racial hatred" Pearce began to read GK\\nChesterton. He felt the "rug being pulled out from underneath his\\nprejudices" because he could not defeat Chesterton\'s arguments in\\neconomics and theology. During a second prison sentence he began to\\npray, and from that point it was only a matter of time before he was\\nbrought into the Church.'
