SUGGESTION: Famous Conversions

I posted this suggestion on Feedbear 3 years ago, but it got no votes other than mine, so I think I forgot to post about it here.

"A collection of fifty first-person conversion accounts spanning Christian history from the Apostle Paul to St. Augustine to Malcolm Muggeridge and Charles Colson. The selections, intended to be representative rather than exhaustive, are each prefaced with brief comment by the editors."

That looks like it would prove to be an interesting read.

I'd never heard of the latter, and the former through his last name only from the Stone-Campbell movement named after him. The Wikipedia articles on these two don't mention their conversion narratives, so they probably aren't noteworthy enough to include in such a volume that is merely "intended to be representative rather than exhaustive."

I don't believe the book is intended to be conversion stories of famous (in some circles) Christians, but rather conversion stories that in themselves are famous. Furthermore, Barton Stone is already included, so he already ticks the box of "representative" for Restorationists, and thus Alexander Campbell's narrative would have been redundant or taken up too much space in a list that had to be rather selective (only 50 total).

I own this resource in print and it is a true goldmine. Voted.
