Customer Reviews

Written for teenws but great for everyone

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.

highly recommended

My 6th grader really, really enjoyed this book. Not only that, but he asked for the other books in the series! Amy Welborn has done a fine job of being charitable while defending the faith...without pulling any punches.

Easy to Understand

Very easy to read and understandable--great if you're just starting out with apologetics.

clear cut

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

An Informative and Entertaining Book for Catholic Youth

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.
