Editorial Reviews

"With recent scandals shaking Roman Catholicism to the core, many adherents are confused and angry and are seeking the truth.  What an unprecedented opportunity this sad situation affords Bible-believing Christians in leading our Catholic neighbors, relatives, and friends out of works-oriented bondage and tradition and to the risen Christ and salvation through faith in Him alone.  Thus this book is particularly relevant at this time.

To help readers understand what the religion teaches, Rhodes has listed ten critical issues that serve as pivots to lead Catholics to Christ and away from false teaching.  Helpful symbols are used throughout the book to show readers the Roman Catholic position on a particular doctrine, the Biblical position on a particular doctrine, witnessing tips, areas to proceed with caution, and closer looks at important words, verses, or historical insights.

The doctrinal issues discussed in the various chapters are the 'apocryphal books' found in Catholic Bibles (they are erroneous writings not found in other Bibles), the authority of Scripture as opposed to tradition, the teaching that the apostle Peter was the first pope, the infallibility of the pope (the idea that when he speaks, his words come from God and that, therefore, he is without error), the veneration of Mary the mother of Jesus, justification, the sacrament of the mass, penance, and purgatory. 

The final chapter challenges believers on one of the most important things we can say to a Catholic—an account of what the Lord Jesus has done in our lives—urging us to also leave a very clear picture with our Catholic friends of just how they can become Christians.  Let's not fail during this time of need on the part of our Catholic friends."
