Summary: A Fair and Honest Defense of the Faith
Review: Father Romero has put together, in a readable and enjoyable format, a wonderful explanation of Catholic belief as rooted in sacred scripture.Some of the topics include the Catholic understanding on: 1) How we are saved; 2) the authority of the Pope; 3) Papal infallibility; 4) the communion of the saints (i.e. intercessory prayer); 5) Mary's Immaculate Conception and many more. The chapters are short and concise. They are filled with biblical proof-texts. Moreover, Father Romero's tone is very fair. In short, a protestant interested in knowing what the Catholic Church really teaches would not put the book down feeling as though he or she has been disrespected. For Catholics, this book is a must because you will learn to defend your faith. For protestants, you will find out what the Church really teaches and why. I wish I had this book 10 years ago. God bless & get the book.

Summary: Very Usable
Review: I became Catholic this past Easter Vigil. While going through RCIA I was told about this book. I am very much a "why?" kind of person. Fr. Romero answers questions in ways that are easy to understand. I love this book so much that I have read it about 8-10 times. I'm still learning and this has been a great source of research and information for me -- thanks!

Summary: VERY useful!
Review: I have spent a lot of time searching for a book that encompasses a defense of all the common objections raised against the Catholic faith. Having used several other books of this type in the past, this book is by far the best I have seen on the subject. It is very thorough in its defense, quoting many other popular Catholic apologists, and neatly pulls all of these sources together in one easy to read volume. The defense is laid in in a clear Q&A format with many helpful diagrams. It is the perfect book to buy for inquring minds into Catholicism. I myself have purchased several copies just for that very purpose.

Summary: A Deacon's thoughts on "Unabridged Christianity"
Review: I love this book! Fr. Romero has put together Catholic answers to common Protestant objections to tennents of the Catholic faith in a clear, easy to follow, meaningful format. He uses a chapter of his book to focus on a subject. He first shows us what the Catholic Church teaches about that subject, he then presents the common objections (misunderstandings) Protestants have on the subject, clears up those misunderstandings using Scripture and finally shows what the early Christians (those who followed the Apostles) believed about those subjects. This book was an excellent source for developing and teaching a class on "Understanding Your Catholic Faith". I recommend it to Catholics and Protestants alike. Read it then decide for yourself.

Summary: Great Book to Use for Evagelization
Review: I've had this book since its first publishing. This book is a great tool for defending the Roman Catholic Faith against any bible believing Christian. This book helps you understand the truths of the church and also to find them biblically. I am constantly using this book in conjuction with the Bible to teach other people about our faith.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: If you have questions about what the Catholic Church really believes and why you should buy this book. It answers so many real questions people have, especially, Protestants. If you think you know what the Catholic Church teaches, even if you are Catholic, you may be surprised by the thruth. There is so much misinformation out there it is refreshing to find answers explained in an easy to understand way.

Summary: UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The author is well experienced with christian apolagetics, and knows the common misconceptions and accusations of the catholic faith. His main reference is the Bible, with early church fathers, and the catachism close behind. He does not contradict the magisterium (as too many catholics do on these issues).

Summary: ALL YOU NEED
Review: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MOST OF THE ARGUMENTS USED AGAINST THE CHURCH AND SOUND ANSWERS TO THEM . IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING FOR A BOOK TO BUY TO LEARN TO DEFEND THEIR FAITH THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS BOOK. I ALSO SUGGEST CATHOLIC CHRISTIANITY BY PETER KREEFT, SURPRISED BY TRUTH BY PATRICK MADRID, AND THE NAB BIBLE.

Summary: Very Usable
Review: This book has been a wonderful tool. It has Fr. Mario's love and intellect put into it. As others have said, it is very readable and makes it easy to understand the "why" of the Catholic Faith. Many Scriptures as well as early Church Fathers writings as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church are all used in unison to support what has been taught by the Church for 2000 years. I have read it many times, use it as a resource and have given 10 copies of it away - and now have helped 5 Protestant brothers on their way to the Catholic Church (currently in RCIA program). This is a mini "Radio Replys". Great book. Thanks Fr. Mario!
