Like most things we take for granted, the Catholic Creeds have an amazing story — actually a lot of stories.
What seems a simple prayer or statement of faith has a fascinating origin.
And there is a reason it’s precisely worded the way it is and each word was fought over with great passion. It had to be worded just right.
This little book is an introduction to the struggles, the heresies, the truth, and the men who fought to hand it down to us.
Knowing the story behind the creeds brings to life our fascinating history and beliefs.
This book introduces the creeds as both a prayer and a personal commitment.
Here you have the summary of Catholic doctrine in a nutshell, easy to read, memorize and practice.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.” And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness ... but we have neglected the world within.
This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self.
This a psychological aid to understanding the philosophy behind St. John Paul’s “Theology of the Body” while exploring the three dimensions of persons – the will, the mind and the emotions – and their three loves – the good, the true and the beautiful.
A new masterwork by one of the foremost Catholic philosophers of our time, “Wisdom of the Heart” is essential reading for understanding ourselves, our God, and our relationship with him.
