What is Faith? Where does it come from? Why does it matter? With Pope Benedict XVI's announcement of a Year of Faith, stretching from October 2012 to November 2013, these questions will be brought into sharp focus.

In this simple yet profound booklet, Barbara Mason uses the texts of the Second Vatican Council, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the words of Pope Benedict XVI and Blessed John Paul II, as well as her own insights, to explore this vital area in a way accessible to every sincere searcher for truth.

Barbara Reed Mason has been involved in faith formation for over twenty-five years, in the UK and internationally, giving retreats, talks and catechetical instruction to young people and adults.
