APPROVED by the Diocese of Fresno, CA, and endorsed by Catholic apologist, author and radio host Gary Michuta (author of WHY CATHOLIC BIBLES ARE BIGGER and host of HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS), POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD is the culmination of over 25 years' research and reflection on the Catholic Faith. Author Bryan Gesinger, whose work has appeared in the prestigious NEW OXFORD REVIEW (Berkeley, CA) and whom Gary Michuta interviewed twice on his show, HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS, conducted research for the present work over many years of discussions of Catholicism with individuals and groups of diverse ages, educational backgrounds, theological persuasions and personalities. Consequently, the book covers a wide range of topics of interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike--such as the history and role of the Bible; the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist and the sacrificial character of the Holy Mass; the Communion of Saints, intercessory prayers, and the veneration of statues and icons of Our Lord and the saints; the doctrine of justification and the interrelation of faith and works versus Protestantism's tragic, novel error of "sola fide" (justification by faith alone); the primacy of St. Peter and the biblical and historical roots of the Papacy; and a sketch of the life and works of a great nineteenth-century convert from Anglicanism to the Catholic Church, John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), from whose brilliant, profound legacy we, in the 21st century, can so richly benefit. You are invited to consider this labor of faith, hope and love--to share in its fruits of research and reflections upon the graces through which Christ bestows power to become children of God.
