Common to people of every time and place is a longing for the truth. We want to know! We want to know the purpose of our life, why we are here on earth, where we came from, whether there is a God, who this God is, whether there is an afterlife, and so much more!
These most basic and fundamental questions are hopefully in the forefront of our minds. And if they are not, it's never too late to start! This book offers some of the answers to these questions. It offers the answers found is our Creed. At first, the Creed can seem dry and unimpressive. It can even seem confusing and overly academic. But when properly understood, the Creed holds the answer to the questions we so deeply seek. Nihil Obstat & Imprimatur
About this The My Catholic Life! series is a three volume series written as a complete summary of our glorious Catholic faith! The goal of these books is to answer the difficult and deep questions of life in a clear and understandable way. We need to know who we are and what life is all about. And we need to know who God is and what He has spoke to us through the ages.
Volume One, My Catholic Faith! is a summary of the Apostles and Nicene Creed. This volume looks at everything from the creation of the world to God’s eternal plan of salvation. Other topics Afterlife, saints, God, faith, and the Church. It is a summary of the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church # 1-1065.
Volume Two, My Catholic Worship! is a summary of the life of grace found in prayer and the Sacraments. So often the Sacraments can be seen as dry and empty rituals. But they are, in reality, the greatest treasures we have! They are God’s true presence among us! It is a summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church #1066-1684 and #2558-2865.
Volume Three, My Catholic Morals! is a summary of the morality itself, knowing how we choose right from wrong, as well as a summary of all the moral teachings of our faith. It is a summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church #1691-2557.
Great summary of the Catholic faith in a easy to read format. The style is more conversational than doctrinal so it's not boring and dry. Looking forward to the other books in this series. Thanks!
I’m not a catholic and see reasons in the book not to be one. The book is well written. Some of the beliefs are based on the cannon, but not all. In all of Jesus’s teaching there is not as much as a hint of purgatory. Hebrews says “we can come boldly to the throne of Grace”. That means there is no need to pray through someone or to Mary. It explains the catholic faith, but it is not totally biblical based.
