This is the compelling story of a man born as a "cradle Catholic" who left the Church at an early age to join the Jehova's Witnesses, the recounting of his 16 years with that sect and it's inner workings, his being "born again" as a Baptist minister for another 12 years, and the conclusion of his incredible spiritual journey along the "King's Highway" back to the Catholic faith. Ken Guindon uses the metaphor of the "Royal Road", the name El Camino Real that Spaniards have historically called their most important routes, to describe the road that the Heavenly King has led him on, and all seekers of the truth, to the Catholic Church.Travel along this amazing spiritual odyssey as Guindon describes why he left the Church, how the Jehovah's Witness so effectively proselytize for new members, how they train and control their members, their false teachings and promises, and how Catholics can counter the methods and doctrines of the Witnesses. He also gives a detailed account of his experiences as a Baptist minister and missionary, why they are so zealous and so anti-Catholic, and how he came back to Catholicism through a closer look at the Bible. An unusual, educational and powerful modern modern conversion story."Guindon's story inspires the hope that many whom have left the Church will return just as he did. It seems we all know someone that would benefit greatly from this book." -David Currie, Author, Born Fundamentalist, Born Again Catholic
