Surprised by Truth: 11 Converts Give the Biblical and Historical Reasons for Becoming Catholic

92 reviews
Foreword by Scott Hahn

Basilica Press, 1994

I was Pleasantly Surprised!
The first thing I want to say is, that as soon as I read this book I got my hands on Surprised by Truth #2 and #3! I loved this book! I learned so much about my Catholic Faith, even though I was already a Cradle Catholic. I also learned a lot about other faiths as well! I highly recommend this book not only to people who are considering becoming Catholic, but for Catholics as well! You will ...

WOW - Appreciate Mass Again!
Scott Hahn helps you to rediscover the beauty and mysteries behind the mass. You'll never miss mass again after reading this book. He is brilliant!

Swear to God: The Promise and Power of the Sacraments

20 reviews
Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2004

Highly Significant!
Swear to God is a landmark book for Catholics. Most Catholics do not understand what it is they are doing when they receive the Sacraments. Every Catholic, regardless of how much you think you know about the faith, should read, ponder and contemplate this book. Every Sacrament is a vow or oath to God that is a perpetuation of the ancient practices of Israel. Christ said several times He was ...

Answering the New Atheism: Dismantling Dawkins' Case Against God

3 reviews
Scott Hahn, Benjamin Wiker

Emmaus Road Publishing, 2008

A priceless refutation of the self-proclaimed "Four Horsemen!"
Using sound, sober logic; and with wit and wisdom, Hahn and Wiker implode Dawkins house of cards. These two scholars (whose PhD.'s are not in Zoology, but in areas that give them expertise in matters of faith and reasoning, philosophy and theology...)deliver a K.O. to Dawkins and his fellow 'horsemen.' It is not just a point by point refutation of the fallicious reasoning of the "Four Horsemen," ...

Reasons to Believe: How to Understand, Explain, and Defend the Catholic Faith

22 reviews
Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2007

Sound reasoning - broad appeal!
Dr. Hahn has not just "done it again" as this book far exceeds what he's done in the past. As aptly summarized by other reviewers, the book is partitioned into three sections, each forming an eloquently persuasive apologetic appropriate for different groups: first, for unbelievers; second, for non-Catholic Christians; third, for Catholics themselves - though each of the book's sections has broad ...

Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism

180 reviews
Scott Hahn, Kimberly Hahn

Ignatius Press, 1993

A Beautiful Story
This may sound like a tangent, but it's highly relevant. This Easter Vigil, I will be receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. What's incredibly ironic about that statement is that just two to three years ago, I fiercely hated Roman Catholicism -- despite considering myself a devout Christian! I attended an evangelical, nondenominational church, a church ...

A Father Who Keeps His Promises: God's Covenant Love in Scripture

46 reviews
Scott Hahn

Servant Publications, 1998

Highly recommend!
Ordered this book to conduct a Bible Study class along with the VCR tape and online classes. I will be reading ALL his books and recommending that our study group conduct classes on each of them. This book is for anyone serious about really understanding the Old Testament and God's plan for us.

Catholic for a Reason: Scripture and the Mystery of the Family of God (Catholic for a Reason)

20 reviews

Emmaus Road Publishing, 1998

The big picture
I highly recommend this to people considering converting to the Catholic faith or those who are new in it. I would even suggest it to "cradle Catholics" like myself because we all need a refresher on what our faith really is. The conglomeration of different authors is a brilliant idea because it gives the reader different perspectives. The authors are connected to the Franciscan University at ...

Understanding The Scriptures: A Complete Course On Bible Study (The Didache Series)

Scott Hahn

Midwest Theological Forum, 2005

Top of Its Class
As the director of adult faith formation at a Catholic parish, I am using this text in tandem with the Bible as the textbook for a 9-month course on the Bible (30 classes, one class per chapter in this book). Our adults are devouring the material and *absolutely love* the content, layout, font, sacred art, diagrams, and beautiful photographs, which make this book such a fabulous resource for any ...

Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God

Excellent way to understand how Mary fits into Christianity
For any Christian trying to understand the importance of Mary in their devotion to Jesus, this is an excellent study. Not only does this book explain what Catholics mean by honoring (not worshipping) Mary, it also explains why it should fit into the lives of all Christians as an ecumenical factor. This book will answer many bilblical questions about Mary. Hahn has put an excellent theological ...

The Gospel of John: Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, Revised Standard Version (Ignatius Catholic Study Bible)

4 reviews
Scott Hahn, Curtis Mitch

Ignatius Press, 2003

Great supplement for Bible Study Group
I am right now using this commentary as I lead a group with a half hour video from an EWTN and then we use the book to answer the review questions which the class does for homework. Easy for beginner students and learned enough to provoke my thoughts as well.

The Gospel of Matthew: Commentary, Notes and Study Questions (The Ignatius Catholic Study Bible)

Ignatius Press, 2000

Awesome
This is a great study bible series. It is accessible yet scholarly. The questions in the review section are not just for intellectual understading, but also serious spiritual growth. For instance, the study questions on Christ's baptism include the editors asking us when we have been like the scribes and pharisees challenged by St. John the Baptist. This little study bible has been awesome ...

Scott Hahn, Curtis Mitch

Ignatius Press, 2003

Fabulous individual or small group study!
Our women's group was looking for a Catholic Bible study that did a good job of incorporating history, theology, and personal application all in one! This fabulous study has that and more! We are devouring it and savoring it. The footnotes are incredibly helpful in helping us put meaning to Paul's words, and the discussion questions do the job of reiterating Paul's meanings and giving our group a ...

Gospel of Luke: The Ignatius Study Guide (Ignatius Catholic Study Bible)

8 reviews
Scott Hahn, Curtis Mitch

Ignatius Press, 2001

An excellent series
This is a great tool for understanding the Gospel of luke. The book starts off with an introduction explaining the inerrancy and the authority of scripture and the proper way of interpreting it. There are many helpful notes, word studies, and essays in this book. One of the essays is on Mary Ark of the covenant,another is on Jesus, the son of Man. The study questions in the back of the book are ...

Lord, Have Mercy: The Healing Power of Confession

36 reviews
Scott Hahn

Doubleday, 2003

It really is good for the soul
Coming from a very militant reformed Protestant background, few teachings of the Roman Catholic church raised my distrust like the teaching on the sacrament of confession/penance. But Dr. Hahn once again smashes through the walls of distrust to reveal the true value of confession in the Christian life. Far from being something to be feared, it is instead nourishment and ointment to the ...

The Bible at a Glance (Faith Charts)
Scott Hahn

Our Sunday Visitor, 2008

This is a laminated, 6-panel "cheat sheet" that covers the Bible: what it is, who wrote it, how to read it, the books of the Bible, where to find..., and more!

The Batman Handbook: The Ultimate Training Manual

Scott Beatty

Quirk Books, 2005

The best book next to scripture!
This is being written on my mother's account. Man, where to begin?! I have loved Batman since I was two, and MANY years later, I find myself reading how to become my favorite superhero of all time! The things in this book are actually reasonable (trust me, I've tried several of them). Let me put it very simply before I go into detail: my copy of this book is as worn as our family Bible. I LOVE ...

I Choose God: Stories from Young Catholics

Servant Books, 2007

Young adults discover the fullness of truth in the Catholic Church
As the mother of three teenagers and a Catholic youth group leader in my parish, I loved the powerful message of Chris Cuddy's and Peter Ericksen's book! Since reading it myself, I have highly recommended this book to many parents of teenagers and to teens themselves. Growing up in a religious household or not, there comes a time in each person's life where they have to decide to follow Jesus ...

Great orthodox Roman Catholic Bible study
Wonderful catholic bible study. Helpful footnotes that make reference to the catechsim and church fathers. I can't wait for the series to be completed.

Acts of the Apostles: Ignatius Catholic Study Bible

3 reviews
Scott Hahn, Curtis Mitch

Ignatius Press, 2002

Perhaps the best commentary on Acts available
Hahn & Mitch have done another fantastic job. They take the data of the biblical book, break down for the modern reader what's happening, how it relates to what's going on before and after, and gives us the theological significance besides. I love all the Ignatius Bible Study commentaries. As a group there is no modern commentary series that is its equal. They have the depth necessary for ...
