[Leah · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book holds up very well. Many of the questions addressed aren’t ones I’ve thought of before, but are answered in ways that I think are very wise in the context of Catholic beliefs. Reading this book in 2025 also allows me to really ponder how the author’s answers would change or stay the same over the past forty years.
