The Secret Catholic, (Paperback)

<p>For many people, curiosity about faith begins quietly, through a passing question, a conversation with a friend, or a deeper longing for meaning. The Secret Catholic is written especially for the average person who is just a little bit curious about the Catholic faith, or for someone who knows a person who occasionally asks questions about Catholicism. It is the kind of book you might leave nearby, on a coffee table or a shelf, in the hope that it will be picked up, read, and perhaps even spark a journey toward becoming Catholic.</p><p></p><p>Most of us, at some point, begin to ask ourselves tough questions: does my life have meaning? How do I find contentment? What is true happiness? What are my hearts deepest desires, and can they be satisfied?</p><p></p><p>Nico is considering these questions and decides he might find answers in religion. He invites his old friend who is a Catholic theologian to meet at the pub for a chat. The Secret Catholic is 22 conversations at the bar where Nico asks everything from whether God exists, to the question of if are angels and demons real? The theologian works hard to think on his feet and answer compellingly and faithfully, but will Nico find these answers compelling? Will Nico find the life he so deeply desires in the Catholic faith?</p><p></p><p>A Book Meant to Be Discovered</p><p></p><p>Blending relatable dialogue with deep theological insight, The Secret Catholic presents the Catholic faith in an accessible, conversational way.
