Be Part Of The Big Conversation
(from www.premierchristianradio.com)
Dear Friend,
The poet and author Paul Kingsnorth says he was as surprised as anyone to find himself becoming a Christian in his late 40s. When I spoke to him about his conversion on The Big Conversation <https://premierchristianmedia.co.uk/16DQ-7UR84-HBY0V8-4TXEVM-1/c.aspx> he described how he had tried an atheist phase as a young man, but couldn’t shake the need to worship… something. That led him to Wicca and Zen Buddhism, but still it didn’t satisfy. Finally he tried Christianity… and everything clicked.
“I was trying to find God, or rather God was trying to find me…
I felt like I was just being hunted… hunted by Jesus!”
