100 Tough Questions for Catholics: Common Obstacles to Faith Today

Surveys show that the leading cause of Catholics leaving the Church is not receiving solid, timely answers to questions about their Faith. Heightening this problem is a hostile secular culture that perceives faith as being at odds with science and the modern world.

In these incisive pages, David Bonagura directly answers one hundred hot-button questions about the supernatural life and Catholicism today. The questions, which were submitted anonymously by young adults in New York City, leave no controversial issue unaddressed.

This invaluable and easily digestible guidebook is cross-referenced and thoughtfully arranged to help you find answers to your most pressing questions. Bonagura provides straightforward reasoning, including:

• The rational evidence for the existence of God, the soul, and the afterlife
• The plausibility of the Bible and belief in Christ 
• The relationship between religions — and between faith and science
• The reality of angels and demons — and the dangers of the occult
• The compatibility of a loving God with suffering 
• Why some of our prayers seemingly go unheard
• Contemporary concerns regarding sexual morality, gender, and A.I.

The book offers ways to overcome feelings of doubt, tips for fortifying your prayer life, reasons for receiving Holy Communion frequently, and practical steps for growing closer to God. An ideal gift for those searching or struggling, it is a book for anyone looking to know God’s love more deeply and be assured of His presence.
