"Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope"- 1 Peter 3:15
This Lent and Easter Season, I took on the Catholic Answers challenge. As I mentioned in the original post, I was recommending it without reading the books. I felt it was only fair to share my thoughts on the books as I read them (and amend my recommendation if necessary). Scripture and Tradition by Jim Blackburn …
When something happens to someone we love, we want to do something. As Christians, logically we know that prayer is the best course of action. There is nothing more effective than giving that pain to our Creator. However, we aren’t just spiritual beings. We are both body and soul, and that body part of us …
When I was a freshman in high school, one of our tasks for our health class was to keep a gratitude journal. I thought it was dumb, but I would write the typical things like friends and family. My annoyance was only amplified when my teacher wrote that I was being too shallow. This resulted …

Second, this post contains affiliate links which simply means that if you make a purchase on Amazon after clicking one of the links, I will receive a tiny commission at no …
I am still working my way through the 20 Answers Challenge from Catholic Answers. Since my last update, I have finished 4 more books. Note I have been working on writing slightly longer reviews on these books, and I will be sharing them in the coming weeks. I try to make it a point to …
I had been commenting a little on this on Facebook, but a friend of mine sent me this article and recommended I write about it (thanks, Emma!). My Experience in Scouts I think it is important to give you some background of my experiences with scouting. I was in Girl Scouts from kindergarten through high …
The Bible is yet another book by Trent Horn that I read for the 20 Answers Challenge. The booklet “offers a truly Catholic perspective on Scripture…It also takes on challenges from skeptics…” This is yet another great resource for Catholic apologetics. Horn addressed a wide span of topics including what actually comprises the Bible, how Scripture …
Obviously, praying a Breviary was not a part of my spiritual life growing up. When I was in my last semester of college, I attended a retreat where we prayed the Breviary, and it just wasn’t my thing. I could give the reasons I don’t enjoy praying from it, but that isn’t why I’m writing …
As I’ve mentioned several times, I am participating in the 20 Answers Challenge Challenge from Catholic Answers. Since my last update, I have finished 5 more books. As I’ve been looking through different sources, some seem to say that the 20 Answers Challenge was just for Lent and other say it was for the Lenten …
This is one of the books from the 20 Answers Challenge. We come back to a book written by Trent Horn, Death & Judgment. The booklet explores “the last things that await us, including purgatory, heaven and hell, and the resurrection of our bodies, as well as the end times and renewal of all creation.” …
