Published by Ignatius Press in 2025, Kreeft's autobiography tells the story of his childhood in a Dutch Reformed family in mid-century New Jersey, his studies at Calvin College, Fordham and Yale, and his reception into the Catholic Church in 1960, with his future wife Maria as godmother. He then reflects on his life and work since his conversion.
