A standout, very compelling, great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I greatly enjoyed this book. This down to earth presentation was a great read. The author while being non confrontational, does not hold back the truth, showing that the errors of the Roman church are not found in the Bible.
Very helpful! Easy to read, yet great information!

This book was especially helpful for me in understanding why many Catholics can agree with concepts of the gospel (Christ's diety, actual death to pay for our sin, and physical resurection) and still not be saved! Part of it is that they may use the same terms that evangelical Christians do, but they hold different meaning for them. The book illustrates this very well. It also shows how most Catholics do not believe that faith in Christ's work on the cross was sufficient to pay for our salvation... they believe it gets them 99% of the way into heaven (or purgatory, as the case may be), but they feel responsible to do their 1% to earn the rest of their way. I appreciated how the author is not a Catholic hater, rather he is deeply moved to help those wrestl;ing with the inconsistancies and frustration that one runs into while trying to merrit their own salvation.
Amazing book for anyone trying to understand the Catholic Faith

I was born and raised a Catholic and recently left the church for a bible based church. After reading this book (in one day because it was so interesting), I realized how little I actually knew about my old religion. This book is for you if you have Catholic friends you want to relate to. It is an awesome resource for people conflicted w/ the CAtholic teachings and the Bible.
I loved it!

It's apparent from other reviews this book is a love it or hate it. As I said, I loved it. I was born and raised Catholic and am now at a point in my life of searching for a bit more than what I am finding in my Catholic church. This book helped answer questions to a few things I had questioned myself throughout the years, and it also pointed out many other things I hadn't thought of. I would agree, it does sound a bit harsh against the Catholic faith, but McCarthy backs all of these arguments up with scripture. I highly recommend this book.
Love is in the Pages

Talking With Catholic Friends And Family was a very good read. It shows true love in how to talk to your friends about Roman Catholicism. After reading three books from Jim McCarthy, I an sure he is using Biblical truths and a willing to help others who may be stuck in a rut of religion without faith.
