This book came to mind when I was answering another thread. I am currently in the process of reading it through a second time. It is the first book I have ever read a second time immediately upon completion of the first reading. Has anyone else read the book and have you found it equally compelling?
 
There are some excellent reviews at Amazon on this book, many having an opinion similar to yours. I received a gift card for Christmas from Barnes & Noble and have been wondering which book to buy. This sounds like a winner!

One person mentioned that the margins in this book are too small to make the many comments he wishes to insert. He loves to write as he reads, uses highlighting and dog ears pages. If this book is THAT good, I can just picture the ‘art work.’ 😃

Do you have a list of the contents that might help us?
 
I haven’t read this book, yet, but I may now that you gave it such a great review. I do have Between Heaven and Hell and Yes or No by Kreeft but haven’t read them either, yet. I found out about Mr. Kreeft when I read, Case for Faith by Lee Strobel. Kreeft has a small chapter in it where he explains why people have to suffer. God bless

Sure, but that doesn’t give a lot of info.
  1. Seven Beginings
  2. The Data: Jesus Shock
  3. Jesus Shock in the Gospels
  4. The Foundation: Real Presence
  5. What Do We Do Now
  6. Seven Post-scripts.
I would describe the book as a look at what is the right response to Reality incarnate, or a guidebook on how to be a saint, all based in an understanding of just who Jesus really is when we meet Him.
 
Peter Kreeft is great! I have only read most of the way through Catholic Christianity but have not read any of his other books yet. I do however also have Angels and Demons by Peter Kreeft. The book was given to be (Catholic Christianity) as a catechist gift from one of my parents. He explains things in layman’s terms without the overbearing theologian ways or explanations we often find ourselves in. Sorry that I do not know about this book though. Great author!
