Reader Reviews
This is the perfect book to give to any of your Protestant friends who question your Catholic faith. In it, Patrick Madrid literally takes fifty of the top questions and arguments that Protestants throw at Catholics to debunk their faith and uses solid, extensive Biblical evidence to answer them. In using the Bible as the primary force in each rebuttal, Madrid uses the one weapon that works best when talking to Protestants. Since Catholic Tradition holds little weight in these arguments, Madrid makes mention of them but always goes to great lengths to use the Bible first and foremost. Another reason to give this book to Protestants is that Madrid's writing style is a lot easier to swallow than, say, Karl Keating. Though Keating is definitely one of the best Catholic apologists around, he does sometimes come across as a brutish force when defending his faith. Don't get me wrong, his fire is impressive and necessary, but Madrid manages to get his point across without being as blunt as Keating. Had I read this book before I myself came home to the Church in 2000, it definitely would have been one of the key reasons that I became Catholic. But now I'm glad that I have it to give to any and every person who is interested in the faith. This is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to both Catholics and non-Catholics. It will not only strengthen your faith as a Christian, it will also make you more prepared to take on a barrage of questions about your faith. Another good book to pick up, and the one that did solidify my decision to become Catholic is "Why Do Catholics Do That?" by Kevin Orlin Johnson. Much like Madrid, Johnson takes an easier to swallow approach in answering questions about the faith. It's highly recommend.
