Father Himes invites you to consider 10 basic truths of Catholicism. Beginning with discussions of the trinity, grace, the incarnation and salvation, Father Himes moves into an exploration of Church as the continuing presence of Jesus Christ in the world today. He shows how that presence informs and affects the practice of Catholicism, including the real meaning of baptism and the baptismal commitment, and the importance of the Eucharist in personal growth and building of community.

After focusing on the sacraments of matrimony and holy orders, Himes explores the importance of the sacrament of reconciliation in the Christian community, and concludes with a discussion of the great gift to the Church that we know as tradition.

Based on Father Himes' popular video series, The Mystery of Faith, this book includes questions for reflection and discussion at the conclusion of each chapter. An excellent resource for small groups or parish learning communities seeking to revitalize and deepen their understanding of basic Catholic beliefs.
