A Well-Built Faith: A Catholic's Guide to Knowing and Sharing What We Believe

by Joe Paprocki

Book Overview

Nail down the facts, tear down the barriers

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is over nine hundred pages long, so it comes as no surprise that many Catholics think of their faith as complex--and certainly too complex to share with others A Well-Built Faith--cleverly developed around a construction theme--makes it easy and flat-out fun for any Catholic to know what they believe and to feel confident in sharing those beliefs with others...

Customer Reviews

An Essential for Any Active Catholic

In an age when misinformation surrounding the Catholic faith is rampant, even among practicing Catholics, the need for clear, concise explanation is essential. In "A Well-Built Faith", Paprocki has provided just that. He outlines the faith in an accessible, clear manner, with relevant examples and an overall contemporary approach. Furthermore, Paprocki anticipated what are likely "hot-button" issues among Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and addressed them in a clear, sometimes fun, manner. But this is not simply a religious textbook; it's also an enjoyable read. So for anyone questioning the Catholic faith, wonder "why do we/they do that?", or are simply curious as to what it means to be a modern Catholic, "A Well-Built Faith" is an excellent choice. In fact, I even plan to utilize it in my upcoming Faith Formation classes!

A Well-Built Faith: A Catholic's Guide to Knowing and Sharing What We Believe

The BEST Book I have ever learned from and read on the pillars of the Catholic Church. Very easy to read and understand with updated humor and real application.

Excellent resource!

This book was quite enjoyable. I especially like the fact that the book helps people see how their faith relates to their everyday life. I just placed an order for our adult faith formation group.

Great Stuff!

New catechists are always looking for material to help them understand the teachings of the church. Joe Paprocki provides explanations, scripture and prayer to help the everyday Catholic find the answers they need to live their traditions and share their faith. The cartoons, stories and jokes are great, too! I have 127 catechists and bought each one a book! Thanks, Joe!

A Well Built Faith

Joe Paprocki has done it again. He has written a book that serves as a great review of our Catholic beliefs. The book serves as a review for people looking at our faith from outside as well as for cradle Catholics who need a want a reference tool on the Catholic faith. What I liked most about this book is each chapter is labeled to help you find the topic you are looking for, it is a wonderful source of knowledge.
