Product Description In this DVD, Bishop Robert Barron illuminates six biblical stories of conversion, demonstrating how six ordinary people, just like you, were met by Jesus where they were and called to a better life through Him. The common theme in each story is the turning of all one's attention and energy toward an ever deeper, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In his characteristically energetic style, Bishop Barron explains how conversion is not so much a one time event, but a life-long process. Jesus Christ calls us in thousands of different ways to follow Him, as we strive on the path for spiritual excellence, explains Bishop Barron. Review Don't miss hearing Bishop Barron proclaim the call to conversion that is the first word of the Gospel, a word of truth and hope that each of us needs to hear, a message that calls for surrender to Christ. --Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.

A Rare Jewel!
This DVD, Conversion - Following the call of Christ is especially good.It begins powerfully with a talk on Bartimaeus' meeting with Jesus andhis subsequent healing and finishes majestically looking at the path toillumination that is characteristic of the Journey of the Magi.The three other New Testament figures and Jonah from the Old Testamentwho are discussed are equally relevant models for understanding spiritualdevelopment.These six talks are probably the best I have heard.Father Barron brings excellent examples to the discussion from Art toSport from personal experience to the lives of saints and crafts hisargument with refreshing clarity and confidence.You feel that like Jesus he could outsmart Pilate and encourage theboldness of Peter.In short Father Barron teaches with authority and this DVD is veryspecial indeed.

A lot of insight packed into DVD that I'll not forget!
I purchased this DVD to watch before adult group learning sessions hosted by my pastor and found the insights and material presented very helpful and well presented. I will be looking forward to hopefully more DVDs by Bishop Robert Barron who is a wonderful presenter.

Unplayable DVD
Unfortunately, this was delivered in early December but not used until January, when I planned to play the "Magi" episode for an RCIA session at my church. Evidently the DVD was faulty since I could only get it to load, but nothing else. We've bought the Catholicism series and other Barron DVD's so I can say that they are outstanding & I'm sure this one must be also. Hence my 2 stars, otherwise I'd give it one for being unplayable.
