Overview

Can people in a scientific age honestly believe in God? If so, how can we hear His voice? With such a variety of religious claims, why would someone become a Christian, or embrace a form of it as seemingly as archaic as Catholicism? Join one young man's struggle for answers and discover the Trinitarian revelation at Christianity's heart. This book by Shane Kapler is an example of the new evangelization...He deals with the most profound and complex issues of our faith, and he does so with simplicity and clarity. -Bishop Robert Hermann, Archdiocese of St. Louis Shane Kapler has given us a compendium of truth borne along by a compelling narrative. His book is both a moving charismatic testimony and an engaging Catholic catechesis. That's a rare combination -- and a grace for the reader. -Mike Aquilina, author of The Fathers of the Church and The Mass of the Early Christians. Executive Vice President, St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology In the introduction, Kapler bills The God Who is Love as 'theological one stop shopping.' I'd say he delivered. A pleasant and straightforward read, it is a masterful interweaving of engaging personal narrative and intelligent catechesis and apologetics. Steeped in scriptural, philosophical, and historical insight, it is proudly Catholic, yet benevolently ecumenical - a heartfelt lesson that appeals to mind and soul. -Kevin Vost, Psy.D., author of Memorize the Faith! and Fit for Eternal Life It is a curious fact that Jesus chose to give us, not a gospel in his own hand, but 'the gospel according to...'. We see Him reflected in the eyes of his people. Kapler shows us how to meet the Truth who is Christ where he has always been found: not in a specially sterilized room full of theological abstractions, but in the concrete ordinariness of everyday life. Mark P. Shea, author of By What Authority?: An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition and Making Senses Out of Scripture: Reading the Bible as the First Christians Did Mr. Kapler passes frictionlessly between discussions of Old Testament scriptures, New Testament scriptures, the deepest mysteries of God, the life and teachings of Jesus, the role of Judaism, and the experiences of his own spiritual journey, to lead the reader effortlessly into a full and deep catechesis of the Catholic faith, always illumined by and reflecting the overarching theme reflected in the book's title. Immensely enjoyable and readable, informed, and surprisingly deep in its explorations of the mysteries of the faith, it solidly deserves a place among the most outstanding recent works of Catholic apologetics. -Roy Schoeman, Jewish convert to Catholicism, and author of Salvation Is From The Jews: The Role of Judaism in Salvation History and Honey From the Rock: Sixteen Jews Find The Sweetness of Christ
