Publisher Description
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 in 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.
So dig into the faith we have been given and let God's revelation change your life!
About this Series:
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.
This volume: 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 include: Afterlife, saints, God, faith, and the Church. It is a summary of the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church #1-1065.
Future volume: 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.
Future volume: 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.

Breezy read, good contemplation
I listen to “Catholic Daily Reflections” podcast each evening, and noticed this companion book to the show. It reads in the same simple, humble, contemplative voice as the show narrator. Some parts seem drawn from it, in fact. If you’re a fan of that podcast, you will enjoy this book. It explains complex or difficult topics simply and conversationally. I feel a greater and realer understanding from this material. Thank you and God bless.
Eye opening
I have always thought I was fully aware of what being Catholic really means. After feeling a need to understand my faith on a deeper level, I came across this series. I was amazed at what I wasn’t aware of from the very first chapter. I’m sure I missed some understandings and will read it again.
The book is written very clearly for understanding. It uses worldly examples to explain things on a level we need to grasp the meanings. I found it to be an amazing eye opening, thought provoking, soul searching and heart opening book. This leaves me with a deeper hunger to learn more and thoughts on how to share with others that are ready for it.
It has already changed my path and I hope it reaches all the lost souls searching to understand what it really means to BELIEVE.
Thanks be to God.
