 General Description:

Carolyn Baber

How much is enough in terms of financial wealth and material possessions?  What is the definition of real "success" by the Gospel's standard?  What price are we willing to pay to gain the whole world but lose our soul-and all those we love-in the process?

Worldly Success Brought Her to Her Knees
In this testimonial three-CD (or cassette) series, From Wall Street to Rome, convert Carolyn Baber shares the story of her incredible journey from the pinnacle of worldly accomplishment to the foot of Our Eucharistic Lord.  As a former Missouri Synod Lutheran, she candidly reveals many of the stumbling blocks she faced in embracing the truths of Catholicism and the personal pain she endured in this odyssey of faith.

Carolyn Baber was the definition of a successful businesswoman.  She was married with two children, highly paid as a stockbroker on Wall Street, had a beautiful house, lots of "toys," vacationed at the most exotic locations, and was even interviewed on the NBC Nightly News and featured in the Wall Street Journal as a prime example of how the modern working woman can really "have it all."

A Divine Wake-Up Call
This delusion came crashing down when she received a personal letter from her seventeen-year-old daughter.  In her rapid assent up the corporate ladder, Carolyn had grown so out of touch with her family's real needs that the material possessions and career success had obscured what was really happening.  Carolyn accepted this revelation as a wake-up call from God and left Wall Street with all its allure and grandeur.

In this series, she shares how the Lord led her to His Real Presence and called her to prayerful study to help overcome her anti-Catholic bias and lead her to find true fulfillment.  You will be amazed as she recounts the many obstacles on her journey including Mary, the Mass, the Saints and the Sacraments.  Now that she has become Catholic, God has transformed Carolyn to become a powerful speaker about the importance of family, a great promoter of Marian devotion and a lover of Eucharistic adoration.

Coming to Grips with the Gospel
From Wall Street to Rome will compel you to ponder some of life's more difficult questions like never before.  Carolyn Baber's struggle to come to grips with the Gospel will inspire you to reflect upon your own perspectives and priorities in life and examine the depth of your commitment to Christ.  Unlike other conversion stories, everyone can truly identify with Carolyn's plight and gain godly wisdom for daily living.  Purchase a copy for yourself and one to share with your family and friends.
