Critic reviews

"Lifelong Catholics realize that it usually takes a convert to help us appreciate and better understand the customs and practices we too often take for granted. Scott Hahn does just that in this immensely reable yet substantive loving look at Catholic prayer, devotions, and beliefs." (Most Reverend Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York)

Amazing!

To learn so deeply my Catholic faith from such one as Scott Hahn, is indeed an honor. every Catholic should read this book and have it in their home library for reference.

Amazing!

Rome Sweet Home is what made me finally decide to be Catholic. But Signs of Life gave me a lot more to think about. It especially made me want to learn more about and develop a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit as a person of the Trinity. Great book!

roots run deep

the content in the book had me glued to it. I feel more in love with God because I know why we keep the traditions that we do. I did play the book on 1.20 speed because the pace was better when sped up just a little

Great insight into Catholicism

Any additional comments?

I have enjoyed many of Scott Hahn's books. This one was no exception. This book provides some great insight as to why Catholics do and believe what they do. There were a few times where I felt Hahn we t a little off topic and ventured more into "how to be a better Catholic" which I felt would be better served in another book. The title and intro to the book indicates a more factual based story.

Catholic Ways

Good review of why we do what we do to give worship to God. Also helpful for people who question the customs of the ma y ways we pay homage to or request favors from the Saints.
