In this newly updated, expanded version of his popular work of apologetics, Shea presents a lively and entertaining look at his conversion to Catholicism from Evangelicalism and his discovery of Christian tradition.

As an Evangelical, Shea accepted the principle of sola scriptura (Scripture alone) as the basis of faith. Now as a Catholic convert, he skillfully explains how and why Sacred Tradition occupies a central role in Divine Revelation. Tracing his own journey of intellectual and spiritual awakening, Shea begins by looking for a rejoinder to those modern-day false prophets who would claim that Scripture itself is not to be trusted, and ends with his conviction that tradition, as explained by the Catholic Church, is the only sure guarantee of the truth of the revelation of Jesus Christ.

This is an intellectual journey into understanding why Catholicism is the most reasonable Christian religion. Mark Shea has a talent for the written, and also as the narrator, the spoken word.

He has of late, sadly migrated from this clear message of faith and reason to a progressive Christianity that is unfortunately crass and ugly. Some of his later correspondence through blogs and social media sources have been very unfortunate.

But this book is wonderful. May God bless Mark Shea for this book and for finding once again, the original reasons he wrote it.

Wonderful. I miss the old Mark Shea

Cradle Catholic. Good to know logic of Protestant. So not really a good book for me.
