Description: In February of 2009, Robin Beck innocently walked into a Catholic Church to receive ashes. At the time, she was entrenched in the gay lifestyle and had no intention of ever leaving, let alone becoming a Roman Catholic. But God had other plans. A few months later, she began RCIA, having repented of and abandoned the gay life. In the months that followed, she would be completely transformed by the healing power of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The author of “I Just Came for Ashes”, Ms. Beck uses humor and grace as she shares her powerful conversion from a same-sex lifestyle to full communion in the Catholic Church.
