Summary: A wonderful read!
Comment: Theologian George Weigel's new "Letters to a Young Catholic" is a remarkable peek into the Beauty of Catholicism. It should be required reading for all Catholics, Protestants -- and even non-Christians!
There is perhaps nobody more suited to write a book like this than George Weigel. Mr. Weigel is the author of more than ten books, including "The Truth of Catholicism," "The Courage to Be Catholic," and, of course, the much-celebrated biography of Pope John Paul II, "Witness to Hope."
"Letters to a Young Catholic" is very much a roadmap of modern Catholicism. Mr. Weigel takes readers on a literary tour of the Catholic world. We visit the most likely and unlikely of places -- from GK Chesterton's favorite pub to the Vatican's Sistine Chapel -- as Mr. Weigel demonstrates that the world and the Church are "the arena of God's action."
He expounds on Catholicism's belief that God's presence can be experienced through art, history, literature, and even other people! As Weigel says, "we can touch the truth of our salvation" -- this life matters!! You'll never think of the Holy Catholic Church in the same way again!
I have never been so struck by the sheer beauty of truth as I was when I read "Letters." In every destination Weigel takes us, he finds opportunities to expound on the Catholic understanding of the world -- and of reality.
Weigel's writing is clear, concise, and convincing. I'd recommend the book to anyone and everyone. Catholics will rediscover the majesty of their Faith, and non-Catholics will be touched -- and challenged -- by the Beauty of Truth.

Summary: A Fantastic Overview of the Catholic View of the World!
Comment: If you know any young Catholics graduating this spring from high school or college, BUY THIS BOOK as a gift for them. An absolutely fantastic tour of the Catholic view of the sacramental and supernatural life we live in this world in the here and now! Weasel provides a modern and outspoken echo to Chesterton's "Orthodoxy", and his words are so timely given the many moral, cultural, and human challenges immediately facing the human race. "Letters to a Young Catholic" proffers a well-reasoned argument for orthodox Christianity, and should appeal to Catholics of all backgrounds, as well as those who are interested in learning more about the Church that traces its roots directly back to Jesus Christ, Saint Peter and the other apostles.

Summary: A Charter for Letting Catholics Be Catholics
Comment: Weigel outlines in brief "letters" set in concrete, dramatic Catholic places the beauty of uninhibited Catholicism. He sets forth for all Catholics a vision of Catholicism glorying in beautiful liturgy focused on the Eucharistic Jesus at the center of our churches, not in a side chapel. He assertively affirms the Catholic sexual ethic in which self-gift and service replace using others. He defends the deep sacramental roots of an all-male priesthood and rejects the gnostic heresy of the gay movement. This book is a magnificent Magna Carta of our freedom to be authentically Catholic without first checking with the guardians of political correctness. Weigel is well on his way to becoming a sure guide for his own generation of Catholics recovering from the folly of liberalism and for younger generations eager for real Catholicism, not Catholic Lite.
