The 99 Handbook: A Catholic Guide for a Life of Faith

Recent studies have shown that nearly half of all baptized Catholics in the United States are unsure that they can have a personal relationship with God. This means that millions of God’s adopted sons and daughters do not have a deep, loving relationship with their loving Father. What about you? The 99 Handbook is an invitation to examine your life of faith, beginning with where you are right now. Drawing on more than twenty years of ministry experience, author Mark Hart invites us to face the issues that are necessary for living a fulfilling life within the flock of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. With doses of humor and easy-to-read style, The 99 Handbook makes the case that a life of faith—a personal relationship with Jesus—is necessary, reasonable, and rewarding. It also shows that evangelization is an essential calling of every Christian. So this short book is for both the ninety-nine and the one. It is about being lost and being found … and then seeking more. It is about our relationship with Jesus and re-engaging with who Jesus is. It ultimately asks, “Do I believe Jesus makes a difference in my life? If so, how do I live this difference and share it?”
