The Catholic Faith Explained

An Introduction to Christianity for the Curious

What is the point of faith, and, in particular, of the Catholic Faith?
Written in a welcoming style, this straightforward book provides a clear, compelling answer to that question. As such, it s meant for non-Catholics who are curious about the Catholic Faith, for cradle Catholics who may never have really understood the Faith, and for longtime Catholics who ve begun to question the Faith and may even be thinking of leaving it.

Here, free of controversies and polemics, you ll encounter the principal beliefs that form the framework of Christianity, and, in particular, a thorough explanation of what the Church teaches about Jesus. To accomplish this faithfully, author Michel Therrien relies on just two sources the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to provide an authoritative overview of what the Faith teaches about God and why believing in Him is important.

In twenty short, easy-to-digest chapters, Therrien presents you with Christianity as the Catholic Church understands it.

Among scores of other fundamentals of the Faith, this book will teach you:

How we come to know God
How God reveals Himself to us
Who God is, as Scripture reveals Him
Jesus Christ s loving plan for humanity
How to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ
How Catholicism will bring you happiness
And much more!
