Synopsis

Do you want to learn more about Catholicism? Are you returning to the faith after a long absence? Do you want to know what role the Catholic faith plays in your life? The Seeker's Catechism answers your questions in an easy-to-read Q&A format to help you feel more at home with what the Church believes and practices.

This updated edition of The Seeker's Catechism by veteran teacher Michael Pennock offers concise answers to questions about the riches of Catholic faith based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You will learn about what the Church teaches about the sacraments, annulment, the purpose of prayer, the Virgin Mary, salvation, the Paschal Mystery, and much more.

New features include:

• questions for personal reflection at the end of each chapter;
• thought-provoking quotations by saints such as St. John Damascene, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, St. Ambrose, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Birgitta of Sweden, and St. Bernadette;
• numbered and indexed questions for easy reference; and
• an appendix offers information about how to become a Catholic.

This book is perfect for adults or teens interested in becoming Catholic through RCIA, those preparing for Confirmation, former Catholics returning to the Church, or anyone wanting to begin a closer examination of the faith. It makes an ideal gift for seekers as they begin to explore or enhance their understanding of Catholicism and deepen their relationships with God.
