Not every conversion story begins with certainty. For some, it begins with resistance, grief, and questions too heavy to ignore.
From Stone to Surrender is the deeply personal memoir of Josh Sol, a husband, father, and lifelong skeptic who never imagined becoming Catholic. His story unfolds not in flashes of lightning but in conversations with neighbors and friends, the patient witness of his wife, the guidance of RCIA, and the grace of ordinary moments that became extraordinary.
Along the way, he wrestled with control, endured the heartbreak of loss, and learned that surrender is not giving up who you are...it is giving over your doubts, your fears, and your hopes to the God who knows you better than you know yourself.
From preparing for a Catholic wedding after years of marriage, to receiving the sacraments at the Easter Vigil, to discovering the ongoing work of faith after the altar, Josh's story invites readers into a lived experience of grace.
Whether you are a seeker curious about Catholicism, a cradle Catholic longing for renewal, or someone standing at a crossroads in your own life, this memoir offers a reminder: you do not need to have it all figured out. Faith often begins in questions, and it finds its fulfillment in communion.
