| | Description | Scott Hahn, the bestselling author of The Lamb’s Supper and Reasons to Believe, celebrates the touchstones of the Catholic life, guiding readers to a deeper faith through the Church’s rites, customs, and traditional prayers.
Signs of Life is beloved author Scott Hahn’s clear and comprehensive guide to the Biblical doctrines and historical traditions that underlie Catholic beliefs and practices. Devoting single chapters to each topic, the author takes the reader on a journey that illuminates the roots and significance of all things Catholic, including: the Sign of the Cross, the Mass, the Sacraments, praying with the saints, guardian angels, sacred images and relics, the celebration of Easter, Christmas, and other holidays, daily prayers, and much more.
In the appealing conversational tone that has won him millions of devoted readers, Hahn presents the basic tenets of Church teachings, clears up common misconceptions about specific rituals and traditions, and responds thoughtfully to the objections raised about them. Each chapter concludes with loving, good-natured, inspiring advice on applying the Church’s wisdom to everyday life. | |

 Scott Hahn's Signs of Life Jul 23, 2010
Great theologian and great writer! Excellent reference for Catholics and also for non-Catholics who wonder about Catholic sacraments, practices and rituals. Scott provides the meaning and tradition.
One problem: I ordered one book, received two and was charged for two books. I do not want a second copy and would appreciate a refund.

 Not much new Jul 21, 2010
Alot of the info in this book is readily available elsewhere. I'd give the book an OK, but a little redundant when compared with Scott's other books.

Signs of Life Jul 13, 2010
I like what I have read so far. I think it would be great for teaching RCIA class.

Eye Opening Jul 11, 2010
Thank you, Dr. Hahn
I am a cradle Catholic and did not understand the background of the sacramentals that I had been using all my life. It was enjoyably eye opening to see the why's behind the actions. I recommend this for anyone who has wondered why Catholics do what they do from the use of Holy Water to sit, stand, kneel (body posture) at the celebration of the Holy Mass. Dr. Hahn answers questions like why do we have Advent and Lent, what is behind making the sign of the cross and much more.
Each custom is it's own chapter and is no more that 4 or 5 pages with a meditation (pondering) at the end of each. An easy and enjoyable read. J. Glenn
