The book has excellent reviews.

This book is a very small yet insightful and an informative apologist’s book. Targeted mainly towards new or returning Catholics. It really is an easy read, well laid out and sourced, it helps to educate on what the Catholic faith is and what Catholics believe, and how they should act.

I would say that this style of writing is very accessible to the vast majority of people and would be a very useful aid in helping to restore a person’s faith or turning a person towards it.

It has not just solid apologetics in the book but also has really good facts, points, and stories in it, that help to hammer home the Catholic dogma in a relatable and modern way.   

I would recommend this book as; I think it is important to learn or to relearn the faith and its teachings as often as possible. And in this book the reader has a very concise and enjoyable way of doing it. 

“I think for a lot of modern Catholics who attended a Catholic school or who go often to church, may be in a state of mild forgetfulness when it comes to the faiths teachings, as modern life pushes out many of the churches wise and loving teachings and makes us forget or twist their true meaning, it is a necessity for us to always learn and relearn the way to salvation.”
