Lives Transformed

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
