Kirk Cameron is best remembered for his role as Mike Seaver, the adorable teen idol from the award-winning series Growing Pains. As the charming troublemaker, he enchanted audiences all over the world. Many Christians recognize him as Buck Williams from the Left Behind films, which are based on Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins' New York Times bestselling novels. But it was his conversion to religion that made him famous, not his acting career. Kirk was not reared in a religious household and has defined himself as a committed atheist since he was a child.

He was so sure that there was no God by the age of 14 that he mocked anyone who believed there was. But all of that changed one afternoon as he sat in his sports car, digesting the first Gospel message he'd ever heard.
