Phillip Seeberg grew up in a Reformed Jewish household, but stopped attending synagogue after his Bar Mitzvah.

In college, he met some Christians who were handing out New Testaments, and he began to read the story of Jesus.

Powerfully moved by what he read, he became a Christian, and joined InterVarsity Fellowship, but the divisions between denominations led him to seek the historical roots of the Christian faith, and to find his true spiritual home in the Catholic Church.
