Why Should I Be Catholic

When a friend asks Daniel that simple question, he realizes he does not know how to answer. That night, his Guardian Angel leads him on an unforgettable journey of discovery.

Daniel sees how Jesus welcomes us into new life through Baptism, speaks through Scripture, gives Himself in the Eucharist, and offers another beginning in Reconciliation. He discovers why Catholics honor Mary and the saints, pray with sacred signs and images, protect the dignity of every human life, and leave Mass ready to make Christ's love visible.

Along the way, Daniel explores questions Catholic and non-Catholic children often ask:

• Why are babies baptized?
• Do Catholics read the Bible?
• Is the Eucharist really Jesus?
• Why can't everyone receive Communion?
• Why confess sins to a priest?
• Do Catholics worship Mary or statues?
• Why ask the saints to pray for us?
• What difference should faith make outside church?

Warm, honest, and richly illustrated, Why Should I Be Catholic? presents the Catholic faith not as a claim of superiority, but as a distinctive path for encountering Jesus, receiving His grace, belonging to His family, and being sent to love the world.

Ideal for families, Catholic schools, parish religious education, sacramental preparation, and anyone seeking a clear, child-friendly introduction to Catholic belief.
