Synopsis

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.

The eighteen-chapter book—at times profound, at times humorous, always practical—follows the structure of the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer). Taking otherwise difficult topics about the Catholic faith and making them accessible and relevant to the lives of average Catholics, acclaimed author and teacher Joe Paprocki does so in a way that never compromises the rich depth of Catholic teaching and tradition.

From the Trinity to the seven sacraments, from the Ten Commandments to the Lord’s Prayer, A Well-Built Faith will help Catholics nail down the facts of the faith and tear down the barriers keeping them from sharing their beliefs with others.'

Also available in Spanish! Una Fe Bien Construida

About this title

Book Description:

From catechists to people in the pew, this book makes it easy for Catholics to know and share their faith.

Catholics often think of their faith as being very
complex, and given the length of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (over 900 pages!), they have a point. Catholics struggling to comprehend their faith are understandably reluctant to share it with others.

A Well-Built Faith—creatively developed around a construction theme—makes it easy for Catholics to
know what they believe and to feel confident in
sharing those beliefs with others.
The eighteen-chapter book—at times profound, at
times humorous, always practical—follows the
structure of the four pillars of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and
Prayer). Taking otherwise complex topics about the Catholic faith and making them accessible and relevant
to the lives of average Catholics, A Well-Built Faith
does so in a way that never compromises the rich
depth of Catholic teaching and tradition.
