The question and answer format is the most popular way of providing specific answers to specific quetions about Catholicism. Father John A. Hardon, using the material from his best-selling Catholic Catechism, has put together a book of over 1,700 questions and answers to provide the modern Catholic with easy access to the issues of the Catholic faith. The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism is divided into three parts: 1. Christian Belief -- a study of the articles of faith as presented in the Apostles' Creed 2. Living in the Christian Faith -- an examination of the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes and the Commandments of the Church 3. Sources of the Christian Life -- a consideration of grace, the Sacraments, prayer, the liturgy Keeping in mind that a good catechism must speak to the hearts of the faithful and answer their questions in clear, understandable language, The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism presents the modern Catholic with the essentials of the Catholic faith in a manner that is easy to use and spiritually sound.

Pocket Catholic Dictionary: Abridged Edition of Modern Catholic Dictionary

Written with true piety and erudition, this 173-page book by Father John A. Hardon cuts to the heart of the trials facing the Church today by retelling the life story of Father Gerald Fitzgerald. Fr. Gerald was a man who clearly understood the Holy Church's teaching that priests must resist all temptation to compromise with the world. He knew clearly, as few of his contemporaries did, that what the Church needed most in these times are priests who are not only unseduced by the world, but who are faithful ambassadors of Christ instead. As we walk through Fr. Gerald's life and peer into his priestly mind, we come upon a man who was chosen by Providence to teach priests who they are and why they were ordained. In Fr. Gerald's words, "A good priest is a prisoner of love for Our Lord because Our Lord is a prisoner of love for him."
