{"product_id":"2940011830358","title":"The Catholic Church and Conversion","description":"It is with diffidence that anyone born into the Faith can approach  the tremendous subject of Conversion. Indeed, it is easier  for one still quite unacquainted with the Faith to approach  that subject than it is for one who has had the advantage of  the Faith from childhood. There is at once a sort of impertinence  in approaching an experience other than one's own (necessarily more  imperfectly grasped), and an ignorance of the matter.  Those born into the Faith very often go through an experience  of their own parallel to, and in some way resembling,  that experience whereby original strangers to the Faith come  to see it and to accept it. Those born into the Faith often,  I say, go through an experience of scepticism in youth,  as the years proceed, and it is still a common phenomenon  (though not so often to be observed as it was a lifetime ago)  for men of the Catholic culture, acquainted with the Church  from childhood, to leave it in early manhood and never to return.  But it is nowadays a still more frequent phenomenon--  and it is to this that I allude--for those to whom scepticism  so strongly appealed in youth to discover, by an experience of men  and of reality in all its varied forms, that the transcendental  truths they had been taught in childhood have the highest claims  upon their matured reason.","brand":"Black Dog Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120985817328,"sku":"2940011830358","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011830358_p0.jpg?v=1763550269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011830358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
