Summary
There are conversion stories and then there are conversion stories. This is one you really want to hear.
It's the story of how a guy named John Edwards, co-founder of Virtual Catholic Conference, hit absolute rock-bottom...and I mean falling into the cracks at the rock bottom... even while everyone else thought he was living the dream.
In reality it was a nightmare...until Jesus entered the building.
That's about all that can be said, except that you need to hear it for yourself.
