The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Catholic Catechism is divided into five sections which parallel the organization of the actual Catechism itself.

Part 1, "Decoding the Catechism," lays the groundwork for studying the Catechism. This is where you'll get the basic background you need to understand why the Catechism exists, who it's for, why it's important, and how to read it. In this part, you'll also find a little pop quiz to test your knowledge of all things Catholic.

Part 2, "A Profession of Faith," takes an in-depth look at the Apostles' Creed, which sums up the beliefs of the Catholic faith in prayer form. We'll take the creed line by line, exploring some of the most difficult-to-understand beliefs of the Catholic Church.

Part 3, "A Mystery Not Meant to be Solved," focuses on the seven sacraments, which were instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church. These sacraments fall into three categories: sacraments of initiation, sacraments of healing, and sacraments of commitment or service. In this part, we will also take an in-depth look at liturgy, which is the central action of the Catholic faith.

Part 4, "Living the Good Life," looks at how Catholic believes are put into action in everyday life. This is where we look at the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament and reflect on how Jesus explained and transformed them into laws of love, If any part of the Catechism is like a rulebook this is it.

Part 5, "Turning Toward Heaven," gets into the practice of prayer answering the questions why do we pray, how do we pray, and where do we pray. This part will give you some pointers on how to have a prayer life and where to god for help. It ends with a line-by-line reflection on the Our Father, the perfect prayer for the Christian faith.

This book contains both the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur - official declarations that a book or pamphlet is free of doctrinal or moral error.

Nihil Obstat: Rev. Rev. John N. Fell, S.T.D.
Imprimatur: Rev. Paul G. Bootkoski, Bishop of Metuchen

Bestselling author Scott Hahn explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith—drawing from Scripture, his own struggles and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science.At the heart of the book is Hahn's examination of the ten "keys to the kingdom"—the characteristics of the Church clearly evident in the Scriptures. As the story of creation discloses, the world is a house that has a Father, a palace where the king is really present. God created the cosmos to be a kingdom, and that kingdom is the universal Church, fully revealed by Jesus Christ.

Stand Up For Your Faith (CDs)
Order Now
$26.95

Are you excited about being Catholic but are sometimes tongue-tied when it comes to sharing your faith? Do you find that your Protestant friends are better prepared to spread their faith than you or your Catholic friends?

You’re not alone. Many Catholics today keep silent in the face of challenges. Many more let daily opportunities to evangelize pass them by—all because they lack the words, the zeal or the encouragement. But in a world that needs your witness, such silence is deadly—deadly not just for the world, but for you, because faith that’s not shared is soon lost. Stand Up teaches you how to evangelize and catechize effectively. The series gives you biblical answers to non-Catholics’ most common objections even as it helps you acquire a satisfying, systematic understanding of the Church’s doctrine and practice. You’ll move far beyond “snappy answers” to a way of “thinking with the Church” that enables you to respond reflexively, from the heart. 4 CDs.
