Download or read book Why Be Catholic written by Patrick Madrid and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular blogger and publisher of Envoy magazine offers 10 key reasons why he loves being Catholic (and you should too). Drawing heavily on poignant anecdotes from his own experience as a life-long Catholic born in 1960s, Madrid offers readers a way of looking at the Church--its members, teachings, customs, and history--from perspectives many may have never considered. Growing up Catholic during a time of great social and theological upheaval and transition, a time in which countless Catholics abandoned their religion in search of something else, Patrick Madrid learned a great deal about why people leave Catholicism and why others stay. This experience helped him gain many insights into what it is about the Catholic Church that some people reject, as well as those things that others treasure. Drawing upon Madrid's personal experiences, Why Be Catholic? offers a deeply personal, fact-based, rationale for why everyone should be Catholic or at least consider the Catholic Church in a new light.

Download or read book Streetwalking with Jesus written by John Green and published by Our Sunday Visitor (IN). This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over two decades John Green's vocation has been ministering to inner city men on the margins of society in downtown Chicago. Green didn't set out to be another Dorothy Day or Mother Teresa, and would be quick to tell you he hasn t become one. A product of middle class, church-going comfort and values, he heeded God's challenge to found Emmaus Ministries, which serves some of the modern-day lepers that are in our midst. Struck by the words of Micah 6:8 and the act of a homeless man who gruesomely ended his life in Green's presence, Green vowed to constantly ask himself: How can I live justly? To whom do I show mercy? How may I walk humbly with God? Deacon Green's lessons learned regarding these hard questions are set against stories of men who struggle to escape poverty, addiction, and sexual sin while encountering Christ in the process. But this book is much more than the account of how one ministry combats a social problem to which most of us wish to remain blind. It is abou

Download or read book Answering Atheism written by Trent Horn and published by Catholic Answers. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's New Atheists don't just deny God's existence (as the old atheists did) - they consider it their duty to scorn and ridicule religious belief. We don't need new answers for this aggressive modern strain of unbelief: We need a new approach. In Answering Atheism, Trent Horn responds with a fresh and useful resource for the God debate, based on reason, common sense, and more importantly, a charitable approach that respects atheists' sincerity and good will, making this book suitable not just for believers but for skeptics and seekers too. Meticulously researched, and street-tested in Horn's work as a pro-God apologist, it tackles all the major issues of the debate, including: -Reconciling human evil and suffering with the existence of a loving, all-powerful God -Whether the empirical sciences have eliminated the need for God, or in fact point to him -How atheists usually deny moral laws (and thus a moral lawgiver) in theory

Download or read book Why is THAT in Tradition written by Patrick Madrid and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2002-03-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Straightforward answers to all the arguments against Tradition The popular bestseller Where is That in the Bible? showed the Scriptural basis for often-questioned Catholic doctrines. Now the same author tackles the other half of the divine revelation. When someone accuses the Catholic Church of adding man-made doctrinal aberrations that go against Scripture, this is the book to reach for. When non-Catholics dispute the Church's teachings, they often distort the facts. This book clears away the distortions and explains what the Church has always taught about hot topics like Mary, praying for the dead, and indulgences. It also explains the difference between Tradition with a capital T and the many traditions that are simply customary. In fact, those doctrines that outsiders most often dispute are the very doctrines that, properly understood, bring people home to the Church. Share this book with a non-Catholic friend. You might be surprised by the results.

She discovers that Gereth Powers is part of a group of Christian activists headed up by William Wilberforce himself.
