Synopsis

Finally. Catholic apologetics written for teenagers, by a teenager! Too often my fellow Catholic teenagers and young adults struggle to explain to others why Catholicism is true. They're taught what Catholics believe, but rarely are they taught why we believe what we believe. This leaves a void, discouraging young Catholics from being bold and confident in discussing their faith with their peers, friends, and family. I take examples from the Bible and the Catechism to provide answers to some of the most questioned Catholic beliefs. I start simple with questions like "Why the Bible?" before I get into the more complex and controversial theological issues. I've taken what I know and brought it to a level that is easy, understandable, and simple for teenagers and young adults to grasp. I use quotes from the Early Church Fathers, like Sts. Athanasius, Ambrose, Ignatius, and Augustine, to reveal how Catholicism is truly the same now as it was in its first years. Once you know they "why", I teach you how to use this information. You'll know what to say, when to say it, and how to become a Heroic Catholic.

About this title

About the Author

I started writing for fun when I was 14 years old and entering high-school. First it was fiction, then poetry, and now my focus is on apologetics. Since I was in junior high I have been passionate about studying and learning how to defend what is impor-tant to me - first and foremost my Faith. I’m also an avid pro-life advocate, having been a leader in my pro-life club for three years, and working on ways to reach out to other teenagers on the issues sur-rounding the pro-life debate. Other interests include baking and decorating cakes (especially lots of king cakes) for my home based business, painting, and lots of reading. I am now in my senior year of high school as a homeschooled student in South Louisiana. I look forward to growing in my under-standing and love of Catholicism and spreading that knowledge with the world.
