Prove It! The Catholic Teen Bible

Prove It!

by Amy Welborn

Sometimes the answers aren’t enough. Sometimes you want to know why they’re the answers. Any Bible can answer questions. This is the one that explains why those answers are the answers. The answers to what? To the questions you’ve been asking your parents, your teachers, your friends … yourself. What’s life all about and where do I fit in? What’s my life all about, and where do God, family, friends, and all the rest fit in? How do I know God even exists, and what do the life and death of Jesus have to do with me right here, right now? If God loves us all, why should I bother taking my Catholicism seriously? If all religions are pretty much the same, why be a Catholic at all? Here is the inspired Word of God. Here is what God has revealed to us about himself simply because he loves us so much. Here is what the Catholic Church teaches about the Bible and Tradition and why it teaches those things. Why the Bible matters not just in the life of the Church but in your life. Here is how to read the Bible – how to understand, to "de-code," what its authors were saying to their particular audiences thousands of years ago. How to truly hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to you today. "The Bible matters?" Yes. "Prove it!" That’s exactly what this book does as it takes a frank and honest look at God, Jesus, Church, prayer … and you.
