My Catholic Conversion by Kristina R. Olsen
My Catholic Conversion
Kristina R. Olsen
This is the conversion story of a Carmelite tertiary. Through a series of spiritual adventures and with the help of supportive friends, professors and spiritual guides, she learned about God’s will for her to enter the Catholic Church and join the Carmelite Order. This book will help you navigate your own ups and downs on your spiritual journey to grow closer to Christ, including the role of reading, reaching out to people, visiting monasteries and God’s little miracles on your path. If you are already Catholic, it will inspire a renewed appreciation for the fullness of the Catholic faith, and if you are a Christian looking for greater meaning in your life with Christ, this book will inspire you to consider the richness of the Catholic intellectual and spiritual tradition on your own journey of faith.

Dorothy Cusick is the daughter of Mary, the subject of this book. She prays, “May the readers of my Mother’s story be able to say like Andrew Avellino, ‘O my feet one day you will tread over these stars.’ For the book itself, may it like Jacob’s testament to Asher, furnish dainties for our King.”
