“There are not a hundred people in the world who hate the Catholic Church, but there are thousands who hate what they mistakenly believe the Catholic Church to be.” Bishop Sheen

The fruit of more than 18 years of study, this handbook is being published digitally so that we can “grow on the go.” Growing in faith is so important, and you will have access to the full handbook from your Kindle or mobile device.

Do you have a friend who is struggling with the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? There are two chapters devoted to that very truth.

Do you know someone who is confused about praying to Mary and the saints? There are chapters for that too.

In fact, the book spans almost 200 pages, and in easy-to-understand language it tackles some of the biggest and most confusing aspects of our faith… always pointing back to the two great sources of the Bible and the Catechism.

From The Introduction:

This handbook is intended as an aid to instructing students how to understand, explain and defend the Catholic faith biblically. Therefore the content presented here is targeted to adults, although older children could benefit for reading and studying it. The material presented here could form the basis of a stand-alone course in the later years of grammar school or in high school, but that is not its primary purpose.

This handbook is structured to supplement the school’s normal religion curriculum. Therefore the various segments will dovetail well with the Religion courses taught in traditional Catholic schools and parish schools of religion. It will also be an invaluable aid to Catholic homeschoolers. Individual topics are developed in each of the first five major parts. They begin with a one-page "cliff note" that summarizes the topic. A short essay on the same topic follows each cliff note, providing a more detailed development. The Addendum contains short essays on six different topics.

All references to “teachers” are intended to include parents. The Church affirms the vital role of parents in the formation of their children in the faith:

“In our own time, in a world often alien and even hostile to the faith, believing families are of primary importance as centers of living, radiant faith” (CCC, #656).

“The role of parents in education [in the faith] is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute” (CCC, #2221).

“Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child’s earliest years … Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God” (CCC, #2226).

Tragically, many Catholics have been drawn out of the Catholic Church because they could not explain or defend Catholic beliefs and practices biblically. In these circumstances they are led to believe by well meaning Protestants that many unique Catholic beliefs are unbiblical.

Understanding the biblical foundation for Catholic beliefs guards Catholics from this deception, and empowers them to evangelize non-Catholic Christians so they can embrace the complete Christian message, instead of one of the numerous truncated Protestant versions.

To know the Faith is to love the Faith. This handbook makes the essential truths of the Catholic Faith accessible to all. It is a great help in growing in faith "on the go."
