Believing in Jesus: A Popular Overview of the Catholic Faith

by L. Foley

Leonard Foley wrote Believing in Jesus to help "born Catholics" come to a deeper understanding of the beliefs and practices they have held all their lives and to help those who approach the Catholic Church for the first time. He wrote, "I hope this book will help some scared and scarred people and challenge others."

Now in its sixth edition, the best-selling Believing in Jesus captures the Christian's continuing journey of faith, ever new, ever alive-yet always founded on God's steadfast love for us. In a lively style Foley covers the complete spectrum of the Catholic faith, leading the reader from early Old Testament times through a world starting over in Jesus, and looking ahead to the time when Jesus will come again and we will share fully in his life.

This edition is updated to reflect the latest church documents and events and is cross-referenced to the Catechism of the Catholic Church . Discussion questions will help readers to delve more deeply into the mysteries of the faith, and the expanded resources section provides ample opportunities for further exploration. Believing in Jesus is an indispensable guide to the faith we cherish.

Well written book, does what the cover says, which is helps cradle Catholics understand more about their own faith. I am currently sponsoring a new catholic and having gone through the RCIA process at the same time as reading the book was very helpful.
