Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R The Good News remains the good news! We live in a time when science seems to be continually chipping away at the foundations of belief in God. A time when some scholars scoff at what the Gospels and the Church teach about Jesus. A time when scandal has shaken many good people in the Church. We live in a time that fosters the haunting question, why do we believe? To comfort the troubled, reassure the doubting, and perhaps give the unbelievers something to think about. Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., knows that -- far from being an act of doubt -- asking Why believe? can be an important and positive step toward deepening one's relationship with Christ and His Church. The popular author and teacher knows firsthand the doubts and questions of modern men and women, and he knows the answers they seek. Focusing on how the Good News is still the

Small and loaded...,

This review is from: Why Do We Believe? (Strengthening Your Faith in Christ) (Paperback)
You know the old phrase "Don't judge a book by the cover?" Well, I'm ashamed to say that although I don't have a problem with the cover, I was a little disappointed at the size of the book. It is very little 4x6x.25 inches.
I'm only half way through the book and I have to say - it's small but it's loaded. I've only read a couple other books by Fr. Benedict Groeschel but I know him more from seeing him on TV. His books are just like him, clear and down to earth - even if he does love St. Augustine and Einstein so much - and quotes from them often. My initial misgiving of the size of the book is all gone, and I am happy to say I am getting a great deal from the book. I'm not quite sure how to frame this book for other readers, like what kind of audience should read this book as opposed to other books. So far (since I'm only half way through the book) it seems to have something to say to everyone, Christian, non-Christian, atheist. The book has a bonus that I am very excited to get to, Appendix D. It is an excerpt of an interview between Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and journalist Peter Seewald. If you are just a little bit curious about now Pope Benedict you might want to kill two birds with one stone and get this book. I hope you find this review helpful.

Fr Groeschel in Perfect Form!,

This review is from: Why Do We Believe? (Strengthening Your Faith in Christ) (Paperback)
Those who watch Fr. Groeschel's program on EWTN on Sunday nights, 7 pm EST..called Sunday Night Live....will recognize Fr. Groeschel's own voice throughout this little book... He is in "perfect form"..
Few can write with such clarity, and with wit and sensitivity at the same time..This book is bold and straightforward... It is brief but complete. I have given away many copies...to believers, to non believers, to Protestants, to Jews, to Catholics..
