Commonweal
"Succeeds in providing a well-articulated account of the
differences between Catholic and Protestant beliefs, and does so in
a way that fosters ecumenical dialogue rather than a sterile
apologetics." Scott Hahn
-- author of Rome Sweet Home
"This is one of the most surprising and unique books I've
encountered in recent years. It is the meditation of a convert, but
it is not at all defensive or apologetic. Jack Mulder is a man who
appreciates his past as he relishes his present. He has produced a
book that in its breadth and depth -- and its pure delight in God's
astonishing ways -- evokes Augustine. It inspires and instructs,
just as it builds bridges instead of walls." Peter Kreeft
-- author of Jesus Shock
"User-friendly, clear, orthodox, honest, personal, and winsome.
Free of scholarly baloney, rhetorical tricks, or argumentative
intimidation, this is a very good book to introduce Catholicism to
open-minded inquirers, especially evangelical Protestants."
Caroline J. Simon
-- Whitworth University
"In this book Jack Mulder speaks as an adult convert to Catholicism
who both values ecumenical dialogue and loves the beauty he sees in
Catholicism. Mulder's book will be useful to all those who want a
brief, highly readable, historically informed overview of the
distinctive doctrines that define the Roman Catholic faith.
Teachings about purgatory or sainthood or the pope are presented as
outgrowths of a coherent and unifying vision of God's redemptive
purposes. Mulder writes with both conviction and an irenic spirit
toward all who seek the truth."
