Why Peter Kreeft is a Catholic

From the Desk of Dr. Peter Kreeft The title of my new book — Forty Reasons I am a Catholic — explains itself. But it’s misleading. There are more than 40 reasons. In fact, there are at least ten to the 82nd power, which, I am told, is the number of atoms in the universe. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most readers only remember a few big ideas after reading a book. I’ve never heard anyone say “Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically- ordered-argumentation,” but I’ve often heard people say, “Oh, that was a good point.” Which takes me back to my main point: “Why are you a Catholic?” This is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer. Here are forty of mine. In these delightful pages and with characteristic flair, celebrated Catholic author and speaker Peter Kreeft gives forty succinct reasons why he is a Catholic. The reasons range from the truth of its claims to the beauty of its cathedrals (which themselves testify to the majesty of God) and to the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Forty Reasons I am a Catholic is a wise, informative, and fun read. Reasons include: Because it’s the best of five choices     Because Jesus is really, truly, personally, literally present in every consecrated Host in the world   Because only the Church can whup the devil   Because I don't want to live in a one-parent supernatural family   Because of the unprecedented historical fact that the Church has never once lowered her standards, never changed her teaching   Because of cathedrals     Because only the Catholic Church can save humanity   Because of the personality of the Church's saints   Because of the nouns Because I want to believe the same things that Jesus taught and that His apostles and their successors and every single Christian in the world believed for fifteen hundred years       Because I want the strongest reason to believe the Bible        Because of what the Church has not taught as well as because of what she has    Because of one thing that I know with certainty, that I do not need belief or faith for      Because of my mother    Because of the angels, and their invisible and anonymous mediation     Because the Catholic Church has been infallibly right about everything she has ever claimed to be infallibly right about    Forty Reasons I am a Catholic by Peter Kreeft Paperback — 144 pages List price: $14.95  Today's Sale Price: $12.99!
