Book Review: If Protestantism Is True

Devin Rose, the author of If Protestantism is True, is a former atheist, turned evangelical, turned Catholic apologist. He is a remarkably charitable gentlemen who now uses his website to disseminate free articles and podcasts in an effort to defend the Catholic faith.

If Protestantism is True is Devin's first book of Catholic apologetics. I had the opportunity to read the Kindle version, but there is a paperback available now. Devin also has another book coming out called The Roman Road (title may change) which looks like it will be of equal interest. Without any further Devin-love, here is my review:

"Eminently readable...a teachable rhythm...end notes to take up your next few months, Devin Rose in If Protestantism is True has written a fine book and a wise gift to anyone interested in Catholicism and why a Protestant might convert. Devin prods his reader to consider the beliefs and state of Protestantism today and what that implies to its logical end--converting his insights into a useful rhetorical strategy the title gives away. Part high-brow theology and part anecdote from his own personal experience, Devin offers a reader from any background an opportunity at engaging the concerns that any serious convert to Catholicism takes up."

Buy the Kindle version of the book or the paperback. NOW! Support a Catholic brother, father of 4, and nurture your faith all in one shot!
