Who is God?

If we want to love God and make him the center of our lives, we should settle this question in at least some small way. This book serves as a starting point for understanding what Christians mean when they say “God,” and to whom they are referring when they use this name. Part of the What Every Catholic Should Know series, God: What Every Catholic Should Know is born out of the recognition that God is central to the Faith, but we encounter misconceptions about God all the time. In an effort to clear up this confusion, this book addresses three major concepts—the nature of God, the Trinity, and the Incarnation—so that we may strengthen our faith and our ability to communicate it to other people.

About the Book

Perfect for Catholics both young and old, God will become a “must read” for those seeking to take their Catholic faith to the next level.
