The Great Mysteries: Experiencing Catholic Faith from the Inside Out - Softcover
The Great Mysteries responds with passion and skill to the growing concerns of spiritual seekers and teachers of the Catholic faith. In radical, refreshing fashion, Greeley explores 12 essential questions of faith and grounds them in human experience. With the skill of a master storyteller and the passion of a deep believer, Greeley contemplates questions at the heart of human life? is there any purpose in my life? Are there any grounds for hope? Why is there evil in the world? ? and reveals how the symbols, rituals, teachings and mysteries of Catholicism both shape and respond to these profound uncertainties.

About the Author:
Andrew M. Greeley is a priest, distinguished sociologist, and best-selling author. With more than 20 million copies of his books in print, he is one of America's best-known novelists and most quoted authorities on religion and culture. A professor of social sciences at the University of Arizona, he is also research associate at the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago.
From AudioFile:
This short book strips away some of the ambiguity surrounding a dozen mysteries of the Christian faith. The frequent references to 21st-century cultural phenomena and laundry lists of topical curiosities (which could be skimmed while reading the book but must be endured in the audiobook) make this an unlikely candidate for becoming a timeless work, but it will resonate with modern readers who might need more concrete examples of the obstacles of faith. Paul Smith's reading style borders on the imperative, giving the impression of an explorer who has returned and is reporting his findings, rather than the joint experiences of a fellow traveler.
