Finding the Fullness of Faith Stephen Ray

Every Catholic should have a copy of this CD! I have listened to this over and over again because it is packed with helpful information to talk with those who do not understand the faith. It gave me deeper understanding in many areas that are hard for non-Catholics to understand. Thanks for offering this CD!

Fantastic!! This is absolutely the one CD everyone should start with ... it is persuasive, informative, and highly valuable in educating Catholics and non-Catholics about Catholicism! I will order many and give them to family and friends. Susan - Land O Lakes, FL
This put into words everything I want to tell my friends about my faith but cannot remember when the time is right. Thank you! Jane - Bourbonnais, IL
Steve Ray's conversion story is powerful ? a wake-up call to "cradle Catholics" to cherish the faith we so often take for granted. Marianne - Youngstown, OH
I am a Protestant about to begin RCIA. This helped to clarify a number of questions and to affirm my decision to explore the Catholic Faith. Sharon - Chicago, IL

 Stephen Ray was raised in a devout, loving, Baptist family. Since his conversion to the Catholic Faith, he has become an international speaker and is the author of three best-selling books, Crossing the Tiber, Upon this Rock, and St. John's Gospel. He shares with us his amazing conversion to Catholicism and explains why he is convinced this is the Church founded by Christ over 2000 years ago.

Dr. Brant Pitre uses the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish tradition to frame the actions of Jesus at the Last Supper, and to provide a fresh look at the heart of Catholic practice — the Eucharist. By taking us back to the Jewish roots of our faith, Dr. Pitre gives us a powerful lens through which to see anew the bread of the presence, the manna, the Last Supper, and ultimately the meaning of the Eucharist.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati - Man of the Beatitudes Fr. Tim Deeter

This talk inspired everyone in my family, especially my 9-year-old son and my 7-year-old daughter. Listening to this CD was a great way to bring our whole family, all 8 of us, together to learn, listen, and then discuss the life choices of these two men.

Thank you so much for this talk! This has provided me the encouragement and assurance that a poor sinner like me truly can become a saint. Jeremy - Haubstadt, IN
Wow! I now have a new understanding of the word 'saint' Cecelia - Cincinnati, OH


Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy into a family of wealth and status, Pier Giorgio enjoyed good friends, hiking and skiing, museums and music, and was involved in political action, He found that deep prayer, service to the poor, and a passion for bringing others to Christ led to a life of purpose, peace, and happiness. Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 on July 4, 1925. He was beatified on May 20, 1990 by Pope John Paul II who referred to him as a "man of the beatitudes".

BONUS: As a teenager, Brian Walch had everything the world tells us we should want. While still immersed in our modern culture, he had a radical deepening of his Catholic Faith which led him to his martyrdom for Christ in 1975. His cause for canonization has been opened.

When Life Doesn't Make Sense Fr. Benedict Groeschel

This CD helped me to turn around my thinking about things. I didn't know that life could be so confusing at times, and this CD helped me to make some sense of these times.  I also understand the suffering that Jesus endured more than before listening to the CD.

Catechism of the Catholic Church: A Sure Guide Cardinal Arinze

I was surprised at how interesting the subject became through listening to this CD.  I am enjoying reading two pages a day (at least) and will as suggested finish the entire book in a year. The speaker’s voice was lyrical, and his humor was infectious. He made me WANT to read the entire Catechism!

Francis Cardinal Arinze energetically draws from his experience to help us see the practical value of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) today, which was given as a guide to living our daily lives in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Sacred Traditions that have been passed down to the Church through the Apostles. The CCC is intended for use by all Christian faithful, and Pope John Paul II declared it to be "...a sure norm for teaching the faith"- Fidei Depositum.
