Bob Hunt, a pediatric Registered Nurse, Catholic
faith instructor, and author, has written a series of articles on “Evidence for the Existence of God from
Experience” for Catholic365.com. The quotation and
link below are from Part 5.
Lives Transformed
“The greatest
testimony to the presence and power of God and His Holy Spirit is the
transformation of lives from wantonness and misdirection to virtue and meaning.
The encounter with God that many have experienced may prove nothing more than an
interesting passing moment unless it impacts one’s life. While this may not
always be a dramatic turn, there are those examples of men and women whose lives
have been genuinely transformed, even to the point of being unrecognizable from
what it was before.”
To illustrate
his point Bob presents five biographical sketches of such transformation,
including that of Matt Talbot, which begins, “It would have been almost a miracle had
Matt Talbot avoided becoming an alcoholic.” See
