Why would an Ordained Evangelical Pastor surrender his Ordination to enter the Roman Catholic Church? Over the past four decades we have seen thousands of Protestant leaders migrating to Catholicism. Most of them have done so for strong theological reasons. This is the story of one man's journey, written not as an apologetic rationale for his decision, but as a readable account of the primary factors that led him to study the Early Church Fathers, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the apologetical works of others who have converted to the historic Catholic Church, as well as his personal experiences he had with God along the way. Tim lives with his wife, Margie, in Colorado Springs, Colorado where he works as a marriage and family therapist.

"Dr. Heck's Journey is not only a moving account of one man's pursuit of truth, but a rich reflection on Christian faith that will stir anyone who is willing to step into the beautiful world Tim opens up to us. In a gentle and accessible way, Dr. Heck provides theologically rich accounts of various points of Catholic faith and practice that were important in his path. Without an ounce of pressure to agree with him, he offers these points along with thoughtful questions at the end of each chapter to make us think about our own faith and personal journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to see evidence of God's work in the human heart, and especially to anyone who wants to know how to let Him work in his or her own heart."
