From the back cover Whether or not you are new to the Catholic Church, or struggling, or lapsed, or dynamically involved, this book will enlighten you with the essentials of the Faith that have been handed down to us by the apostles. 100 Things Every Catholic Should Know covers what it is we believe in the Creed, how grace configures us to Christ in the sacraments, how we worship in the liturgy, how we connect to God in prayer, how Mary and the saints fit in in all of this, and how we are part of Christ's Mystical Body - the Church. Each of the 100 topics is easy to read and distilled into bite-sized portions. Through cross-referencing, the book also shows how the topics are interrelated. Those who are new to the Faith will find this book an edifying handy reference, and those who have simply forgotten will find it a great review material that might spark a new love for God and religion. A quick and enlightening approach to know the core beliefs of the Catholic Faith. This book was written primarily for Catholics who do not know much about their Faith but want to know more, and are drawn to concise text. It is also written for others who are curious about Catholicism. In 100 Things Every Catholic Should Know, the author arranges the principle beliefs of the Catholic Faith as short phrases in a logical sequence so they build upon each other. Although the text for each topic is concise, the coverage is extensive. With this accessible contemporary style, this book will help readers appreciate the individual doctrines and how they relate to the entire Faith when woven together. Through clear and direct language, readers will find that the Catholic Faith is not as intricate at is it seems, but rather follows only a few tenets when distilled to its basic essentials. Readers will find out about God's nature; man as his creation; man's choice to separate himself from God through original sin; God's loving plan to restore his relationship with mankind; why the only person who can do this must be God and man at the same time; why we believe Jesus is the person who did this through his passion and death; that Jesus established a Church to perpetuate what he started through its teaching, sacraments, and leaders; and why we need to pray.

How often do we view the Our Father only as a series of petitions rather than as a way to the heart of our heavenly Father? Popular Catholic author Mark Hart says that the prayer Jesus gave us is a “reactionary” prayer—one that calls for a response from us. As he reflects on each of the words and phrases of the Our Father, he emphasizes the intimate relationship that God desires to have with us. Each of the fourteen ways Hart suggests for responding to the Lord’s Prayer begins with the letter “R”—from “remembrance” to “repentance” to “reliance” to “resolve.” This book will give readers a new appreciation for this profound yet simple prayer as well as a deeper understanding of the love that our Father pours out on us, his children. Informal and engaging style will appeal to both younger and older Catholics. Makes a thoughtful Confirmation gift.

My image of God the Father, enthroned in heaven in flowing white robes and Birkenstock sandals, was overshadowed by my certainty that he didn't want me to have any fun. God was all about rules.--from Chapter Five Too many young Catholics experience their faith as Mark Hart did: They rarely miss Mass even if they don't understand it; they have a Bible even if they never read it; they go to confession even if they aren't particularly repentant. Is that your experience of Catholicism? Is yours a faith of Thou Shalt Nots? If so, forget about a dreary life of mindless obedience to rules you don't understand. It's time to enter into the transforming light of your Creator who invites you to live from the still center of his undying love. The author's humorous and hard-hitting reflections drive home the point that God isn't calling the reader to be a good person--someone who merely obeys the rules--but a new person in Jesus Christ.
