Summary: A must read for Catholics AND Protestants!!
Review: "Catholic for a Reason" is probably the best book available to share with Protestant Christians. Too many times, Protestants object to Catholic doctrines because they do not 'understand' Catholic doctrines. This book gives the Protestant Christian a good overview of the historical and biblical basis for Catholicism. Read with an open heart and mind, this book should help Protestants come home to the Catholic Church. Reviewed by Gospel Truth Ministries

Summary: One True Church
Review: "See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."
James 2:24Great book. Proof of the one true Church that is the Catholic Church. Roman is a Rite of the Church, not the Church's name. It refers to the Catholics who follow the Roman Missal instruction for how Mass is held.

Summary: A compelling defense of the Catholic Faith
Review: As Scott Hahn says in the introduction, Catholic for a Reason "is written to change the way you think--about everything." Well, the authors succeed. Drawing on Scripture and Tradition, each of these twelve capable authors makes a case for an aspect of the Catholic Faith in the context of the book's overarching theme, the Catholic Church as the Family of God. Perhaps the best quality of the book is that it tells a story, rather than answering common objections to the Catholic Faith, as most apologetics works do. Well-written, compelling, and above all charitable, Catholic for a Reason is an excellent presentation of the Catholic Faith in an attractive form. See for yourself why Peter Kreeft says, "Its central idea of 'the family of God' turns out to be central to every aspect of the Catholic faith, and no idea is more fundamental to our current crisis and 'culture war' than this one."

Summary: Being A Member Of God's Family
Review: Faithful to the magisterium, this book is written in an easy-to-read style. It addresses in a very succinct way some of the pressing issues of being a Catholic Christian: Baptism and being "Born Again", Justification, The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, Mary, Marriage and divorce, Call no man Father, and Purgatory are just a few examples. Recommended for all who desire to know clearly what Catholics REALLY believe.

Summary: Eye-Opening!
Review: I am a convert to the Catholic faith within the past three years. There were some aspects of our faith that meshed perfectly with my old ideas of the world. Some took more work, prayer, and help from others. Two or three I stuggle with today. To me, we are all on a constant journey to get closer to God. This book will help you move a`few steps on that journey. There are four essays in this book that are absolutely enlightening. All are good, but four are exceptional. A great read for those interested in apologetics, or those just wanting a clear vision of what it means to be a Catholic Christian.

Summary: Come back to the Catholic Faith!
Review: I come from a Catholic home. I knew my faith well, but I did not know how to defend my believes when I got to college. I left the church and later became protestant for many years. If I had read this book in my early twenties, I would have stayed with the Catholic Faith all along. This book is a great tool for Catholics who want to know how to defend their faith when they feel attacked by protestant brothers and sisters in the faith.

Summary: Scott Hahn does it again!!!!
Review: I have recently made the decision to join the Catholic Church. I will be confirmed at Easter Vigil in 2000 and much of the reason is Scott Hahn. I highly recommend anything written or edited by him, especially this particular gem. The beauty of this one is that it has 11 different authors who each tackle a different important element of the church in a comprehensive way all while remaining in unison to the common theme: THE FAMILY OF GOD. It answers all of the important and legitimate questions of the Protestents. I don't know how anyone can read this book and not want to be a Catholic. As Dr. Hahn says in his other book ROME SWEET HOME, "come home, supper is waiting at the table." Well I'm on my way home, come with me if you're not already there.
