About Me
I was received into the Catholic Church in 1991 (formerly non-denom evangelical). My conversion story was published in the bestselling book Surprised by Truth in 1994. Articles of mine have appeared in The Catholic Answer, This Rock, Envoy, The Coming Home Journal, and other periodicals. My website, Biblical Evidence for Catholicism, was online from March 1997 to March 2007. This blog of the same name began in February 2004, and contains more than 2300 web pages and papers. Sophia Institute Press has published four of my books: A Biblical Defense of Catholicism (2003), The Catholic Verses (2004), The One-Minute Apologist (2007), and Bible Proofs for Catholic Truths (2009). I am the co-author (with Dr. Paul Thigpen) of the inserts for The New Catholic Answer Bible (Our Sunday Visitor: 2005), and editor for A Treasury of Chesterton Aphorisms: to be published in 2009 by Saint Benedict's Press. I've been very happily married to the lovely Judy Kozora since October 1984; and we have three sons and a daughter.
