Dr. Allen Hunt

While leading an evangelical mega church as pastor (serving more than 15,000 people each week), Allen began a remarkable journey culminating in his conversion to Catholicism.

Allen is the author of 12 books, including his best-selling,

Confessions of a Mega Church Pastor: How I Discovered the Hidden Treasures of the Catholic Church,

Everybody Needs to Forgive Somebody,

No Regrets: A Fable About Living Intentionally in Your Fourth Quarter, and his most recent release, 12 Ways Forgiveness Changes Everything.

In addition to authoring, Allen is also a powerful speaker. His messages inspire “everyday” Catholics to more fully recognize the relevance of Catholicism, the role it’s meant to play in their lives, and how to share this with others.

On January 6, 2008, Allen entered the Catholic Church. This transition represented the culmination of a 15-year journey, which was effected by the prayers of a group of Dominican sisters who have been praying for Allen since 1992.

Prior to full-time ministry, Allen worked in management consulting with Kurt Salmon Associates, an international leader in the textile, apparel, and retail industries. Allen earned a Ph.D. in New Testament and Ancient Christian Origins from Yale University.

Allen and his wife, Anita, live in Georgia, and have two married daughters and seven grandchildren.
