 Meeting new friends Feb 10, 2009
By Carol Blank
Patrick Madrid, a widely popular author, publisher and speaker, introduces us to 150 verses "perhaps as new friends whom you are meeting face-to-face for the first time." Familiarity with the passages can help us grow spiritually, make wise decisions, resist temptation, counsel others, and discuss our faith. Madrid suggests that concentrating on these passages prayerfully and frequently will deepen our knowledge of and love for Christ. Another benefit, he writes, is that we will find ourselves better able to "overcome objections and difficulties some people have with the Catholic Faith."
The book is divided into 12 chapters formatted with scripture passages and comments on a single topic, such as divine revelation, evangelization, and the sacraments. Verses in the sacraments chapter bring to light some frequently asked questions. For example, Acts 2:37-39 lays the foundation for baptism of children as well as adults. "There are no age restrictions," writes Madrid. His comments on Acts 16: 30-34 point out that even in Paul's time, pouring water was an acceptable alternative to immersion when performing baptisms.
The reflection on the Eucharist begins with the passage from John in which Jesus proclaims that He is the bread of life. For 2000 years, the Church has faithfully proclaimed the literal meaning of Christ's words, writes Madrid. The Eucharist is the body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ under the appearances of bread and wine.
The next section addresses the question of refusing Communion to non-Catholics and Catholics known to be in the state of mortal sin. Madrid sites Paul's warning in 1 Corinthians 11:27: Whoever "eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord." Paul's statement makes sense only in connection with the Catholic doctrine of the real presence. It would make no sense if Jesus were present only symbolically, as other Christian denominations teach. The Church, then, instructs non-Catholics not to receive Communion at Mass lest they "become guiltily of 'profaning' the sacrament..." The same instruction applies to Catholics in the state of mortal sin. For the Church, Madrid writes, "this is not in the least a mean-spirited or divisive request but an immensely loving one."

 Lectio Divina shown as an example Feb 15, 2009
By Robert Wheelock
"If you do not live what you believe, then you will begin to believe what you live."
This small book, the work of Catholic apologist Patrick Madrid is perfect for the person wanting to do Lectio Divina but not sure what that looks like. Madrid has given us Scripture verses to enrich our personal understanding of our Catholic faith at the same time adding his own reflections on the meaning of the scriptural verses for daily living. A wonderful way to move into reading the Bible for the novice as well as the biblical lover of the Word.

Thought Provoking Sep 05, 2009
By M. Green
I really enjoyed the book and it really makes you think about your life. The book was approved by Reverend Joseph Binzer, Vicar General, Archdiocese of Cincinnati, OH on April 15, 2008 so just know it is authentic. My only complaint is the scripture verses are in small print while the commentary is in larger print. I would suggest to the author to make a revised edition and enlarge the scriptures which the book is all about especially for those who have trouble reading small print.
Great Book!

Very Well Done Jun 29, 2009
By Diane Marie
+ Patrick Madrid did a wonderful job. All scripture lovers should read this book. It's a good way to introduce someone who doesn't know much about scripture to God's Word. He gives you a lot of quotes to look-up in addition to the 150 verses. Very Well Done.

great gift book Sep 20, 2009
By ReneeSuz
150 Bible Verses Every Catholic Should Know is a book for any Catholic that wants to know more about the Bible and the Catholic Faith. Patrick Madrid has broken the book into chapters including such important topics as the Sacraments, the Communion of Saints and the sanctity of human life. Each chapter highlights about a dozen passages from Scripture and how they relate to the topic, our faith and our lives.
I was very excited to receive this book for reading and reviewing as I have met Patrick Madrid in person (he came to our military installation in Seoul, South Korea) and loved hearing him speak. This book is not what I thought it would be. I was expecting 150 verses but Patrick provides us with 150 passages (much more than I anticipated). I was also expecting a work of apologetics but Patrick admits himself this is not the purpose - his hope is to introduce us to a wide variety of Scripture, provide verses that will answer questions and help us to deepen our knowledge of and love for Jesus Christ. I think this book would make a great devotional during Advent or Lent - each day focusing on a few passages and maybe even using the lectio divina approach. I also think this book would make a great gift for RCIA candidates or older teens in Confirmation class.
