Summary
Fr. Robert Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this epic journey, Fr. Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology, philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.

A Struggling Catholics Primer on Faith
As a Catholic who knew nothing of the Faith, I am indebted to Bishop Barron for his work in evangelisation. Without him I may have never begun my journey back to Roman Catholicism.

Quite good. Especially the second half
If you could sum up Catholicism in three words, what would they be?
Deep, valuable, nourishing
Any additional comments?
Generally, sound teaching on a spiritual level. Especially the second half where the author was bringing the examples of the Saints of the Church moved me and helped me a lot

WOW - Live changing book.
Just read and ponder on the words of this truly religious man. I was intrigued when listening and towards the end of the book I suddenly thought to myself- who is this author Robert E Barron ? His words are prophetic and mesmeric. After reading about him I learn he is an internet sensation. It is easy to understand why. Listen to Bishop Robert E Barron and enjoy his words on Catholicism. He explains with God's clarity. A must for any Catholic or someone like myself who converted or is considering converting to Catholicism.

It's good
I enjoyed this book but found it a little slow moving. I never really knew who the target audience was, as certain sections and the writing style seemed to require some kind of theological background, whereas others seemed to assume not much knowledge of the faith. Still, it was informative and touches upon a great deal that is vital for understanding Catholicism. For me the real highlight was the final section on the saints biographies. Hugely inspirational.

Does what it says on the tin!
If anyone ever wants to know exactly what Catholics believe and why then the easiest thing to do is read this book. It is as simple as that. Fr Robert Barron is a Catholic phenomenon who has been recognised by his superiors in the Church as having a gift for communicating complex Catholic theology and factual history in an honest and accessible way. The driving force for that honesty and accessibility is his love for God and his enthusiasm in his faith. He literally sings his faith to the world through his writing and broadcasting. For Catholics this is a "must have" book. It has been adopted by RCIA groups in Catholic dioceses the world over. For those who are curious about Catholicism and want to know why Catholic believe what they do, then you can do no better than read this luminous work. The audible version is all the more awesome because Fr Robert narrates it himself and his love and enthusiam burst out of every chapter.
