As a "bookslover" I'm surprised you didn't include a book as one of your choices.

Some people may have also been strongly influenced by the electronic media, be it internet sites or radio preachers. I suppose the latter could be "clergyman" but I don't know if that's what's envisioned in the poll. Listening to Alistair Begg was a big step for me since it was the first evangelical preacher that I had ever really listened to. Initially it was largely due to the novelty of his Scottish accent, but what he was saying soon started making some sense to me, although I wouldn't say that I was actually converted through listening to him. Growing up in a liberal church, I had previously believed all of the stereotypes about ignorant, obscurantist, mean-spirited fundamentalists and some personal encounters along the way had done nothing to dissuade me from that view.
