Reviews"This book is gold. I don't think I've ever read a more inviting, accessible, complete explanation of the Catholic faith. This is Our Faith is more than a catechism; it is an invitation to believe! Pennock explains the faith with the patience of an experienced fellow traveler on the way to God. With a conversational style that combines question-and-answer with scripture reflection, prayer, and examples from the saints and human experience, he draws the reader into a living understanding of the faith. I highly recommend this to everyone with questions, wherever they are on their journey. It belongs on every Catholic's bookshelf." -- Sarah Christmyer , Codeveloper and author of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible Study program "This Is Our Faith has been a valuable resource in faith formation for decades and this new edition will solidify its place on the book shelves of parish leaders, catechists, and catechumens alike for years to come. I have always admired the work of Michael Pennock and his ability to make complex theological concepts accessible to beginners and those hungry to learn more about our Catholic faith." -- Jared Dees , Creator of TheReligionTeacher.com, author of 31 Days to Becoming a Better Religious Educator "We have used This Is Our Faith with our catechumenates for ten years. Our RCIA team unanimously decided there is still no better catechism for our weekly RCIA sessions than This Is Our Faith . We especially like that it matches the general structure of the C atechism of the Catholic Church , and references it throughout. In addition, each chapter works wonderfully with our ninety-minute weekly sessions. The number of chapters corresponds quite well with the period from early September to Easter. The topics in This Is Our Faith are covered thoroughly yet are never overwhelming. The writing is crisp and accessible." -- Dwight Johnson , Director of RCIA, Holy Eucharist Church in Cherry Hill, New Jersey "After more than thirty years in adult faith formation ministry, This Is Our Faith is still the first book I go to for new seekers, no matter their status. From the uncatechized to the fully initiated and practicing, there is something for everyone in This Is Our Faith --something accessible, something inviting, something understandable, something encouraging, and something wonderful!" -- Martha Danks-Ferguson , Director of Adult Faith Formation, St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Fresno, California
