“Marvelous depth and accessibility.”

“Fr. Daniel J. Mahan unpacks the good news of Jesus Christ with a marvelous depth and accessibility honed through decades of experience as a pastor and evangelizer. This text provides a comprehensive catechesis that carefully demonstrates how the timeless truths of our Catholic faith inform and give meaning to our day-to-day lives. A Journey through the Catechism will compel and edify both the beginner and the lifelong Catholic. The timing here could not be better: the field of adult faith formation will greatly benefit from this practical and winsome exposition of the Catholic faith—aimed at the salvation of souls and the glory of God—which can be put directly into the hands of adults to stir conversation and uplift minds and hearts.”

“Will leave you thirsting for more and can change your life.”

“Fr. Daniel J. Mahan is an expert on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in 1998 led an eye-opening, informative three-year walk through it. His love for God, knowledge of the scriptures, and familiarity with the Holy Land puts him in the unique position to make the Catechism accessible to everyone. A Journey through the Catechism builds upon years of his labor, is clearly written, and takes the reader through the four pillars of the Catechism. With the help of Fr. Mahan’s thought-provoking reflections, those who are inquiring to the forever faithful will discover God’s love for man and what his or her response to that love should be. The question-and-answer format creatively demystifies the Catechism to allow the reader to see the wisdom of the faith derived from scripture and tradition. My journey to the diaconate is due in part to Fr. Mahan and his three-year walk through the Catechism. A Journey through the Catechism, when studied with an open mind and heart, will leave you thirsting for more and can change your life.”

“Highly recommended.”

“This is an impressive achievement. Fr. Daniel J. Mahan has zoned in on the essentials and presented them accessibly. For those interested in a shorter presentation of the faith, this book could be self-sufficient. But the book’s larger intention is to introduce readers to the Catechism of the Catholic Church in a way that will make them want to read it more completely and, over time, to acquire its riches more fully. This is truly a great service. Highly recommended.”

On every page, the reader is led by Fr. Mahan’s pastoral voice to discover the gift of an evangelizing catechesis that invites a life-transforming encounter with Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Written in a user-friendly question-and-answer format with theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Fr. Mahan’s journey with the Catechism offers concise chapter summaries, in-depth reflections, and engaging visuals to nourish the minds and hearts of all seekers of truth, goodness, and beauty.”

“A rich and comprehensive summary of the Church’s faith.”

“In A Journey through the Catechism, Fr. Daniel J. Mahan provides his readers a rich and comprehensive summary of the Church’s faith from an exciting, rediscovered perspective. Mindful of the many challenges we face in our contemporary culture, Fr. Mahan returns us to the primordial message of the Gospel—the offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. He invites catechumens and all believers to rejoice in Christ’s salvific message as lived through the rich teachings of the Church. I found A Journey through the Catechism intellectually refreshing, spiritually invigorating and a compelling invitation to understand our Catholic faith as truly good news for our modern times.”
