This review is from: Catholic Pocket Evangelist: Biblical Outlines for Scripturally-Based Discussions of the Roman Catholic Faith (Paperback)
This small 35 page handbook gives a very concise overview of the Catholic faith with excellent Scripture references. Easy to handout to anyone who is interested in learning of the Catholic faith and is also covenient for apologetics. Have read many other books but really like this as a quick thorough reference.Highly recommend it!

Great for those of us you can't remember chapter and verse.., December 14, 2000
This review is from: Catholic Pocket Evangelist: Biblical Outlines for Scripturally-Based Discussions of the Roman Catholic Faith (Paperback)
As cradle Catholic, homeschooled in apologetics, this book is a real find. I am to the point where I know many of the apologetic arguments, but often can't remember the chapter and verse numbers of the passages I am quoting. This little book tucks nicely in my bible and helps me find those passages.
As a practical matter, I wouldn't use this as my sole entry point into apologetics. The book highlights the verses with brief explanations, but not necessarily the logic surrounding them. So, for example, if you don't know that the arc of the covenant is a scriptural type for Mary, you may be confused as to what those Old Testament verses have to do with Our Lady.
Get this book if you want to ENHANCE your existing apologetics learning and evangelization. It is extremely well done.

Perfect for easy reference, May 28, 2001
This review is from: Catholic Pocket Evangelist: Biblical Outlines for Scripturally-Based Discussions of the Roman Catholic Faith (Paperback)
I picked up this book the other day as an afterthought. After all its only ...*who could go wrong?*. I was not disappointed. This book pointed out exact scripture verses to me that allowed me to examine questions others had about my faith. Many Protestants that only rely on scripture don't want to hear a person interpretation. They only want to see the scripture. I would wholeheartedly recommend this very useful and easy to reference tool to anyone who is Roman Catholic or anyone who is challenged in what they believe. If you are looking for a cheep way of handing out a booklet to any catechism or RCIA class, this is perfect.
