📚 About the Book: Do you find yourself questioning the existence of God or wrestling with doubts about your faith? Perhaps you've been hurt by the Church or are struggling with its teachings. "Rebuilt Faith" by Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran offers five simple steps to deepen your connection with God and rediscover the essence of your Catholic faith.
⛪️ Key Steps in Rebuilt Faith:
1. Serve - Serve others and develop a servant’s heart;
2. Give - Giving reflects the character of God;
3. Engage in Christian community - We need friends of faith to become more like Jesus;
4. Practice prayer and the sacraments - By praying consistently and continually taking part in the sacraments, you will better connect with God;
5. Share your faith - Having a heart for people who do not know Jesus and helping them in their faith journey will strengthen your own faith.
Join us as we explore how these steps can revolutionize your relationship with God. Learn how embracing your Catholic faith can bring about a sense of purpose, connectedness, and community, allowing you to strengthen both your personal connection with God as well as the entire Body of Christ around you.
