My Journey to fnding the Truth

I am 29 years old, and for most of my life I have been a Roman Catholic (as I was born into a Catholic family), a very blind & self righteous one at that. My sister, a few years ago, who was born-again, handed me two books of Dave Hunt, In Defense of the Faith & Occult Invasion. I have heard that Dave had been to India studying Hinduism, so I am sure he would have known how difficult it would have been to find any good Christian material around to buy or even read. It is extremely difficult to get any books of Dave Hunt off the shelf here in Bangalore. 

My sister came across Dave Hunt on the Internet while she was doing her search for the truth. She approached a few bookstores around our locality & ordered for Dave's books & it was a long wait until she did finally get them. The people at the store were only able to get 2 copies of Occult Invasion and 3 copies of In Defense of the Faith, and nothing else. Out of these for my birthday she presented me with one of each. 

I glimpsed through Occult Invasion, and it really frightened me! It spoke about the apparition of Mary & Jesus and how it is demonic, and I can tell you that I was scared--scared to even look at the pictures in my house that hung all over the place. I put the book back on the shelf and got caught up with living life, as we all do, with our busy schedules. 

When my brother passed away, who was also born-again (saved), thanks to my sister & an old friend of my Dad who had been visiting us ever since my parents passed away in 2003 & 2004, this friend of my dad was instrumental in helping my elder sister get saved--my father & my brother too. I was devastated at losing my brother, who was only 36 years old. He passed away due to a sudden heart attack. I spoke a while with my sister, and she, along with my dad's friend, confirmed through scripture that my brother was in a better place, and that really made me feel so much better. 

I took some time off from work after my brother's passing, as I was shattered at the loss of him, and then one day I began searching online for Dave's talks. I listened to the talk on A Woman Rides the Beast, his debates with Keith Fournier on the Catholic Church, and his talk on the Rapture & his book Judgment Day. I began reading my Bible seriously, and doing a study with Chuck Missler everyday. It is only because of Dave did I understand that I was in the wrong place. I understood the tremendous love of Jesus and how much He loved me and the price He paid for my sins. It is through Dave's book, In Defense of the Faith did I fully understand all this. It brought tears to my eyes when I read that book, and it really touched my heart to know that I have a Saviour that loved me so much and sacrificed so much for me, a sinner.

I love Dave because he never fails to talk about the love of Jesus, which is so important to stress on for people like me. Dave has so many times taught me never to compromise on the truth and to make the truth known all over. It is not easy to stand up for the truth against an entire entity, and Dave has done that, with Islam, the Catholic church, Eastern Mysticism, etc., etc., and I admired him for that. 

I have learned a whole lot from this wonderful human being called Dave Hunt, I always used to think I would meet him in the Rapture, but our precious Saviour wanted him sooner. I can proudly say now that I am Saved (Born-again) and I have been baptised as well and it was not easy as I am married to a Catholic who is slowly coming around to the truth, Thank you, Jesus :) . My entire family and his family are very 'holy' Catholics. It is still a struggle but one of which I am not afraid, because if He is for you, who can be against you?

I am very saddened by Dave's death and I woke up with tears in my eyes as soon as I logged in to facebook, I make it a point every single day to read the post of Dave Hunt's page-- without fail I do that every single day, ever since I started following that page. I always thought I would meet Dave in the Rapture as I am in such a far off place like India, and me coming over to the States to witness one of his talks was something I couldn't afford, but at the same time, I rejoice to know he is home where he belongs, in the presence of our loving Saviour. 

Dave has been the most vital part in helping me through my journey in finding the truth and helping a lost soul get saved. I do hope his books will now be easily available, as the ones online are a little expensive at this point in time for me. The person at the OM Bookstore, which sells Christian material in our area, calls my sister & me "Dave Hunt Fans" :)-- he says that because we are the only ones always asking him for his books all the time. We love you, Dave, you are where you belong! To Dave's wife, Ruth, & his ministry, God bless each one of you, and you are in our prayers.
