Customer Reviews

Especially recommended for Catholic readers

What Faith Is Not is a book that takes a rather different and engaging approach to understanding and appreciating the nature of faith -- by focusing upon what should not be confused with faith. Author Mitch Finley (recipient of numerous awards including ten Catholic Press Association Journalism and Book Awards and an Excellence in Writing Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors) displays his theological and linguistic skill with his deep, soul-striking presentation of that which gives life and love true substance. What Faith Is Not is especially recommended for Catholic readers, as well as anyone else wresting questions of personal faith within a Christian context.
