In ten chapters, Himes offers interesting and provocative reflections on major topics in Catholicism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br> In his familiar, conversational style, Father Himes invites the reader to consider ten basic truths of Catholicism. Beginning with discussions of Trinity, Grace, the Incarnation and Salvation, Himes moves into an exploration of Church as the continuting presence of Jesus Christ in the world today. After discussing what Baptism and the baptismal commitment really involves, he focuses on Eucharist, showing the importance of the sacrament for personal growth and for the building of community. After discussing the Sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Orders, Himes explores the importance of the sacrament of reconciliation in the Christian community, and concludes with a discussion of the great gift to the church that we know as tradition. <p/> Based on Father Himes' popular video series, <i>The Mystery of Faith</i>, this book includes questions for reflection and discussion at the conclusion of each chapter. An excellent resource for small groups or parish learning communities seeking to revitalize and deepen their understanding of basic Catholic beliefs. <p/><b>The audio edition of this book can be downloaded via Audible.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>REV.
