Why We’re Catholic
by Trent Horn
Trent Horn answers hard questions for a living. As a staff apologist at Catholic Answers he hears them daily, many from people who don't believe in God at all. Why We're Catholic packs that experience into a slim book, and its subtitle names the goal: our reasons for faith, hope and love.
Horn starts at the foundation and builds up. Does truth exist? Does God? From there it's Jesus, the Resurrection, the Bible, the Church, the sacraments, Mary and the saints, and the moral life. Every chapter is brief and clear, and none of them talks down to the reader. He sees the objections coming and answers them without swinging a club. The tone is a conversation over coffee, not a debate stage.
It suits seekers who want the reasons behind the beliefs, OCIA participants who come from no faith background, and parishes looking for a book to hand out. It is easy to read, with a solid core. Read it with a pencil and mark the arguments you want to test.
