The struggle of the woman in this case is taken from her own autobiographical book which describes a movement out of a hopeless lifestyle into a sense of self-respect that came with her rejection of alcohol and one night stands. We are invited to look at conversion in a new light as she attains a sense of herself and her value. In view of this account of conversion how do you understand that journey  toward deeper integrity? What does conversion mean for her personal journey?

Consider the other case called “What God Has Joined.” In this account there are also issues that relate to a need for conversion in that this couple is struggling to keep their marriage yet choices require some reconsideration of what their life together must become if they are to remain married. What must happen for this couple to experience a sense of new beginnings?
