Product Description
This book gives clear, biblical answers to the most common questions Catholics get about their faith.
Publisher Description
Do you dread the knock of door-to-door evangelizers? Do you get tongue-tied when a non-Catholic asks, "Why do you Catholics believe ?" Then this easy to use handbook is for you. It will give you the knowledge and confidence to defend your faith. Readers will discover how easy it is to show the biblical basis for the most commonly misunderstood Catholic beliefs, including the Eucharist, the Papacy, Mary, Purgatory, Confession, and prayer to the saints. Clear, concise, and very practical.
Reader ReviewsI've used this concise booklet in two men's small groups and have found it to be an excellent place for individuals to begin answering the questions that Catholics are commonly asked. -Why do Catholics believe in purgatory when the word "purgatory" isn't even in the Bible? -Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints when the Bible says Jesus is the "one mediator between God and man"? This easy-to-use booklet is perfect for answering such questions. Using the Bible, the authors help those using this book to be able to explain and defend their faith. The book answers the most common objections to the faith, including Mary, purgatory, the Eucharist, confession, and many other Catholic doctrines. If we do not know our faith, how can we defend it? This book is a great resource for helping people to know their faith and defend it. It is the first book in a three-part series on Catholic apologetics. I highly recommend it, especially for small groups. It's inexpensive enough that each group member can purchase their own copy.
