Jimmy Akin was born in
Texas and grew up nominally Protestant. At age 20 he experienced a
profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant pastor
or seminary professor, Jimmy started an intensive study of the Bible,
but the more he immersed himself in Scripture, the more he found it to
support the Catholic faith. Eventually, he was compelled in conscience
to enter the Catholic Church, which he did in 1992. His conversion
story, “A Triumph and a Tragedy,” is published in the book Surprised By Truth.
Akin is a Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a member on the
Catholic Answers Speakers Bureau, a weekly guest on the global radio
program, Catholic Answers LIVE, a contributing editor for Catholic Answers Magazine, and the author of numerous publications, including the books Mass Confusion, The Salvation Controversy, The Fathers Know Best, and Mass Revision.
His personal blog is www.jimmyakin.org.
