Believing in Jesus: A Popular Overview of the Catholic Faith (Fifth Revised Edition)

Probably the best and most easily understood review of the Catholic Faith. Excellent for teaching adults and H. S. students in CCD.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. IT REALLY TAKES YOU ON A JOURNEY OF FAITH IN MODERN LAYMAN'S TERMS. THIS BOOK REALLY HELPS THOSE WHO ARE APROACHING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDERSTAND THE CHURCH AND HER BELIEFS. IT ALSO HELPS CATHOLICS GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR FAITH AND THEIR BELIEF AND PRACTICES THEY HAVE HELD ALL THEIR LIVES! LEADS YOU FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT TO THE ENDTIMES, WHEN JESUS WILL COME AGAIN! THIS BOOK REALLY MAKES YOU APPRECIATE JESUS AND WHAT HE DID AT THE CROSS!

This book is a great resource for explaining the faith to new RCIA canidates or to Catholics want to develop a further understanding of their faith. This book is very readable and easy to understand which is why it's been around so long. I would give this book to a questioning Catholic WITH the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Both are valuable resources but each used differently. Thankfully, this new edition includes some great new discussion questions.

Fr. Leonard Foley's books is an outstanding resource for those who want to understanding the Catholic faith. Fr. Leonard approaches the faith with well founded knowledge and deep spirituality. He speaks to those who search for the meaning of their faith with gentleness and wisdom. This book will lead readers/seekers to a deeper relationship with the Lord.

We use this book in our parish RCIA program. It is a concise overview of what Catholics believe. In addition the book is indexed to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I highly recommend this book for RCIA programs.
