If you could summon any one historical Christian back to existence and inquire about that person's conversion experience, whom would you choose? There's a good chance your nominee shares his or her salvation story somewhere within this fascinating compilation. First published nearly three decades ago, this updated version of Finding God also contains accounts of noteworthy believers still among us, including philosopher Alvin Plantinga, scientist Francis Collins, and (hey, why not?) U2 lead singer Bono. Leaf through these pages, and you'll discover afresh what editor John M. Mulder calls the "remarkable, even exhilarating, variety in the way people describe their conversions."
