Surprising Discoveries About Catholicism
Join host Janet Ray (wife of Catholic author and speaker Steve
Ray), and five friends of different Christian faiths as they put
questions to Donna Jones (wife of Deacon Alex Jones) about the
challenges, rewards, the ups, and the downs of her faith journey
from Pentecostalism to Catholicism. A great compliment to the
autobiography book written by Alex and Donna NO PRICE TOO
HIGH as told to Diane Hanson.
Donna Jones' husband, Alex Jones, was a respected pastor of a
successful Pentecostal church in Detroit, Michigan. When he began
to study the writings of the Early Church Fathers in preparation
for a mid-week Bible Study, he became depressed, and withdrew
from his family's normal activities. When Donna discovered he was
studying Catholicism, under the guise of what he was calling
apostolic traditions, she decided that he was under a "strong
delusion" that needed correction. Her plan was to read some of
the material he was bringing home to study, and then counter his
misunderstanding with Scripture from her King James Bible.
But what she read from piles of Alex's study materials surprised
her. She discovered that the Early Church Fathers had a much
deeper commitment to saying "Yes!" to Christ than the devout
Pentecostal traditions in which she was raised.
When Alex surprised her with a decision to become Catholic, Donna
thought he had lost his mind. This was the man that, for years,
had taught that Catholicism was the Great Whore of Revelations,
and that the pope was the anti-Christ.
What followed was a traumatic conflict of class, culture and
religions as both Alex, and then Donna, confronted the rejection
of family, friends, and peers. Three-fourths of the members of
their church left, but surprisingly the rest followed Alex and
Donna, and their three sons' families into Roman Catholicism.
In this DVD, hosted by Janet Ray, Donna is quizzed by five
friends, some Catholic and some Protestant. They discover that
Donna, a woman of prayer, faith, and King James Scripture, has
made some surprising discoveries about Roman Catholicism.
In this wide-ranging discussion you'll discover how Donna's faith
and character were formed by her birth mother and a revered
church mother of her Pentecostal past. You'll, also hear about
the lessons she learned as a child, her courtship with Alex, her
often painful journey into Catholicism -- and the other mother in
her life, who, at times of great danger, shared with Donna the
pains and agony of motherhood.
