Why We’re Catholic {Book Review}

Why We’re Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love

By Trent Horn

Available through Catholic Answers Press at this link: Why We’re Catholic

This is a friendly, easy to navigate book explaining why we believe the things we believe within the Catholic Faith. While we can be formed in the Faith, we often have difficulty explaining and defending the teachings of the Catholic Faith. This book is a collection of clear and concise, down-to-earth explanations that will certainly help us in our formation, as well as evangelization. It will also help us in those precarious moments when we’re asked questions about the Faith, that we can’t clearly answer.
