Believing Jesus

Leonard Foley wrote Believing in Jesus to help "born Catholics" come to a deeper understanding of the beliefs and practices they have held all their lives and to help those who approach the Catholic Church for the first time. He wrote, "I hope this book will help some scared and scarred people and challenge others."

Leonard Foley, O.F.M., was a popular retreat master and speaker at adult education programs. He was editor of St. Anthony Messenger magazine, and founding editor of Homily Helps and Weekday Homily Helps
