Description
How can you believe all this stuff?
This is the number-one question Catholics get asked—and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live?
Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his faith
- Some didn’t believe in God, or even in the existence of truth.
- Others said they were spiritual but didn’t think you needed religion to be happy.
- Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel.
- And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday.
Why We’re Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it’s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief—and brings us joy.
Why We're Catholic stands alone as the go-to resource when it comes to learning about the Catholic Faith

PRAISE FOR WHY WE'RE CATHOLIC
"Catholic Answers has carried out a wonderful, apologetic ministry explaining, defending, and advancing the mission of the Church for many years. Trent Horn's Why We're Catholic: Our Reasons for Faith, Hope, and Love is the latest and very useful tool in that work: clear, practical, simply organized, very readable and rich in content. It's a pleasure to recommend it."
—Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia
"Whoever loves Christ wants to make Him known. But we can only make Him known if we live our faith and can put it into words. Trent Horn's Why We’re Catholic helps us do precisely that. This book is made for the challenges of our times--I highly recommend it."
—Bishop Thomas Olmsted, Diocese of Phoenix
"Finally! A concise, courteous, and convincing booklet to hand to friends and strangers about the reasonableness of Catholicism."
—Matt Fradd
“If you’ve ever wondered why Catholics believe what they do, Trent’s book is the ideal resource to find the answers. With great clarity and charity, he walks the reader through the most common objections and questions people have about Catholicism. Whether you’re a Catholic looking to deepen your faith or you’re curious about the claims made by the Church, you need to read Why We’re Catholic.”
—Jason Evert, author of Saint John Paul the Great: His Five Loves
"I’ve often said that Trent Horn is the best Catholic apologist alive today, and now he’s written the book that screams “where have you been all my life?" — the simplest, most thorough, most accessible answers to practically every question and objection that atheists, agnostics, secularists, Protestants, and even fellow Catholics may have regarding Catholicism. Why We’re Catholic must find a home on every Catholic’s bookshelf; I promise you, it will gather no dust."
—Leila Miller, author of Primal Loss: The Now Adult Children of Divorce Speak Out
“Why do you believe in God? Why are you Catholic? Why do you pray to the Saints? Why, why, why? Rather than view these questions as an attack, I like to think of them as opportunities to share the "Good News". In his new book, Why We're Catholic, Trent Horn gives you the insight to answer the difficult questions and truly make a difference in the lives of others. It has a permanent place on my bookshelf. It would fit nicely on yours too!”
—Gary Zimak, Catholic speaker, author and radio host
“Let’s face it: some books about Catholicism are overly academic and boring . . . but not this one! Trent’s writing is clear, easy, engaging, and a reminder of the reason for our hope. It should inspire non-Catholics and reignite in Catholics the love for our faith.”
—Rose Sweet, Catholic author and speaker
“In Why We’re Catholic, Trent Horn successfully debunks many of the myths and logical fallacies of atheism and anti-Catholicism. Laying out his arguments in a clear and well-organized flow from one chapter to the next, he brings the reader along, anticipating questions, and giving satisfying answers to all the most common objections. After reading this book, a skeptic will be out of arguments against the Church.”
—James L. Papandrea, author of Handed Down: The Catholic Faith of the Early Christians

Great Book
I loved this so much, by the middle of the first chapter I ordered three more to share. Easy read. Some parts get a little dry, but all-in-all this is a fantastic book. The author explains things in a way that are straightforward and logical. Highly recommend if you’re looking to expand your knowledge or just curious about the Catholic faith.

Great book!
This book brought me back to the faith. I had fallen so far away I didn't think I would ever come back. But then I saw a recommendation for this book on Amazon and decided to give it a shot. I'm glad the Holy Spirit lead me to this book. Read this book whether you have fallen away, have doubts, or need a refresher on the faith. I'm thankful for Trent Horn for writing this book and thankful that God keeps pulling me back no matter how far I go. Pick up this excellent book, you won't regret it.

Excellent Book
I'm nearing the end of the book and this has been so informative. As a cradle Catholic, I was familiar with Mass and some traditions and followed it without question. It wasn't until speaking with a Protestant friend, that helped me question my beliefs...but in a good way! This book has helped me understand more about my faith and has rejuvenated my love for the Catholic Church but most importantly my relationship with God. I think there is still so much I don't know but this helps with many "basics" of the Catholic faith. I also think it's provides a lot of good "defense" for our faith. Thank you Trent Horn and Catholic Answers for writing and publishing this book. It's well written, and easy to understand.

Why We're Catholic
Love it..hard to put down!

An Absolute Gem
This is a terrific book! It addresses several of the most important, yet commonly misunderstood, tenets of the Catholic faith in concise, easy-to-read to read chapters. I’ve made bulk purchases to share with fellow parishioners who, like me, can always use a refresher on their faith. I believe it would be an excellent resource for RCIA programs as well as an evangelization tool. Thank you, Trent for such a gem!

Must read for every member of the
This is an amazing book! It reminds Catholics and teaches non- Catholics what the Church believes and WHY. (Many people do not understand the important WHY- they just thinks the Church only has “rules” to impose “Catholic guilt.”) This is easy to read, non judgmental format. Trent Horn is a convert to the Catholic Faith, and he logically presents his reasoning for converting to the Catholic Faith. He wants to share with others the truth that is found only in the Catholic Church. Thank you, Trent!

I was impressed with the ease of reading and understanding what it is we believe in and how to defend that belief
Great book to read

Excellent
Over the last two years I have made two bulk orders. It is a great apologetics tool. A great read for anyone wishing to understand the Catholic faith.

Fabulous evangelization tool!
This book is such a critical tool for me. I'm in sales, and I meet with people all the time who I have given this book to. Three categories of people are ripe...first, current Catholics, either to correct or confirm their faith. Second...fallen away Catholics who need to understand what they've left. Lastly...non-Catholics who are open to reading. I just wait to see if there is an interest in discussing faith, and then probe a bit about Catholicism. I then ask, "Do you enjoy reading?" If they say yes, I simply ask if they would read a book about the Catholic faith, and if they say yes, they're a new owner. Great deal on the bulk offer...even with shipping it winds up being about $3.75 a book. Thanks Trent Horn and Catholic Answers for such an awesome gift to the Church.
