Answers To Common Misconceptions About The Catholic Faith

Letters
to a Young Catholic
In
this remarkable tour of the Catholic world, George Weigel helps us
understand how Catholicism fosters what Flannery O’Connor called
“the habit of being.” Taking the reader by the hand, Weigel
embarks on a journey to Catholic landmarks as diverse as Chartres
Cathedral and St. Mary’s Church in Greenville, South Carolina;
the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem and G.K. Chesterton’s favorite
pub. Weaving together insights from history, literature, theology,
and music, Weigel uses these touchstones to illuminate the beliefs
that have shaped Catholicism for two thousand years.
With
clarity and conviction, Weigel examines the foundations of
Catholic faith and explores the topics of grace, prayer, vocation,
sin and forgiveness, suffering, and—most importantly—love.
Putting a dramatic face on this invitation to Catholicism, Weigel
introduces some of the figures who have shaped his faith and
thought.
In
these letters, George Weigel conveys the power of a faith that is
at once personal and universal, timely and eternal. His book will
inspire not only the young generation of Catholics but also the
faithful, the doubtful, and the searchers of every age.
George
Weigel is a Catholic theologian, a leading commentator on religion
and public life, and the best-selling author of Witness
to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II and God's
Choice - Pope Benedict XVI and the Future of the Catholic Church. |
