Prove It! Church [Paperback]

Amy Welborn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 2001 | Series: Prove It!

What do you say when someone tries to tell you:

• "You're not a Christian because your church isn't Bible-based?"
• "You're not a Christian because what your church teaches isn't in the Bible?"
• "You're not a Christian because you believe that good works will get you to heaven?"
• "You're not a Christian because you worship Mary like a goddess?"
• "You're not a Christian because you believe that the pope is right about everything?"
• "You're not a Christian because you obey the pope instead of God?"
  And the biggie:
• "You're not a Christian because you're not saved?"

Prove It! Church gives you the answers you need when someone challenges your Catholic Faith. From Mary to the saints to papal infallibility, infant baptism, purgatory, and a whole lot more. Prove It! Church explains what you need to know to prove that the Catholic Church belongs to Christ, teaches Christ, preaches Christ - and is, in fact, Christ in the world today!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Informative and Entertaining Book for Catholic Youth, July 2, 2002

Ms. Welborn has written a concise, but thorough book for Catholic teens on how to defend their faith when accosted by well-meaning Fundamentalists and Evangelicals of their perceived oddities of the Catholic faith. It is written in a humorous vein that will be especially appealing to young people (as well as adults). Could be successfully used in a class setting for youth with 16 reasonably length chapters that should keep them attentive. It is written for Catholic youths. It is not mean-spirited towards non-Catholics, but by the same token, Ms. Welborn does not sugar-coat the apparent conflict of beliefs between entities. If you are in charge of a Catholic Youth Ministry, I highly recommend you peruse a copy of this book.

I bought this book ofr my preteen daughter, but found it very informative myself.

Amy Wellborn does a great job of explaining and defining the faith from a Catholic perspective.

She keeps her presentation light hearted, but packs the book with solid research and provides references for her beliefs.

This book provides both scriptural and historical support for the claim that the Catholic Church is the one started by Christ.

I also recommend her other books on God and Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars clear cut, April 7, 2004

This review is from: Prove It! Church (Paperback)

You can tell that the target audience of this book was probably like teens. However, other people can learn from and enjoy this book too! I loved this book. It presented everything in a very comfortable manner, but it really hit home a lot of points and conflicts. I'd reccommend this book for any Catholic, old or young, convert or cradle catholic! Heck, even if you're not Catholic, it's still a good read
