Nathan was an atheist who became a Christian after reading one of C.S. Lewis’ books. It led him to know Jesus.

Even though Nathan remembered going to the church when he was a kid, he didn’t personally know God.

"I had a sense that there was a God, but I didn't know what that meant," he said.

He initially thought that God would do anything for him because he believed that with God, all things are possible. That's why he couldn't understand why God allowed Nathan to go through a heart-wrenching breakup.

"She broke up with me, and I was absolutely devastated… That was the worst pain I’d ever experienced at that time. I then decided that I was an atheist. Because if there was a God, how could He have possibly allowed this to happen in my life?" Nathan said.

Atheist Became a Christian

Nathan started doing drugs and partying as a teenager, which he continued into college. It became the centre of his life.

"But there was no absolute joy, no peace. There was just increasing misery," he described that experience.

"I remember being in my apartment, laying down like just on the floor in such a depressed state, and just having nothing to live for. I remember lying there in absolute despair with no answers. And nothing. But it was then that everything started to change," he said.

Nathan became a Christian when he met Jesus in a very unique and unexpected way.

Atheist Becomes a Christian After Reading A C.S. Lewis' Book

It all began with a connection with a co-worker he started dating while working as a bartender. Her father was a minister, but she preferred to date people who were very different from her father. They later got married after having a child together. They occasionally went to see her parents and went to a church where his father-in-law was the pastor.

He received C.S. Lewis’s book Mere Christianity during one of those visits. The book sat for many months by his bedside. Then one evening he began reading the book when he was unable to sleep. He was shocked to discover that Jesus was genuine as he read the book. It opened his eyes to believe that Jesus was Lord. The scales had been lifted from his eyes!

"I became absolutely convinced in that moment that Jesus Christ is exactly who He says He is. And at that moment, all I knew was that I knew nothing. I know that Jesus is Lord; I know that I’m a sinner; and other than that, I don’t know anything. I got out of my bed at about 3:30 in the morning, went into my bathroom, fell down on the floor, and gave my life to Jesus Christ. I asked Him to forgive me of my sins. And my wife woke up the next morning to an entirely different person," he concluded.

God's Love

God's love knows no bounds, and one proof is how an atheist became a Christian just by reading a book.

If you feel like you’ve walked away from the Lord, always remember that He never left your side.

Atheists converting to Theists is not uncommon, what’s special?

God's Word gives perspective and real hope!
