“Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote the ‘Summa Theologica’ as a brief summary, a catechesis, of Christian Doctrine. But he wrote it in Latin. If you cannot read Latin, this little book, ‘Catholic Soul‘ is the next best thing.” — Fr. James B. Reuter, SJ – Director, National Office of Mass Media; Author; Columnist, Philippine Daily Star

“Most Catholic theologians and Bible scholars to defend the Catholic Faith elaborate the questions and corresponding dogmatic or biblical clarifications in a very schematic way. In this book, Edgar de Vera instead presents daily readable essays that portray not only questions and answers but also the living experiences of a layperson who undergoes these questions from others and from oneself and finally comes up with answers not only from a deep study of theology and scriptures but also from the experience of God’s gift of inspiration and enlightment.” — Fr. Gerardo R. Tapiador, SSL – Exegete; Author of The Mysterious Seed, Hark the Herald

“While divine truths are often deep and complicated, they are also basically simple. The truth of Jesus Christ and His Church is not just for the philosopher and the theologian, it is also for the simple and the poor. Egardo de Vera has done us all a great service in taking many of the key teachings of the Catholic Church and explaining them in a way that is easy for the aveage person to understand while at the same time profound enough for the scholar. These short, easily-accessible meditations will be a blessing to the Church and  should be in the hands of every Christian.” — Steve Ray – Author, Crossing the Tiber, Upon this Rock, St. John’s Gospel, Footprints of God

“Many startling and profound discoveries awaityou in these pages. His arguments are lucid; his logic, razor-sharp. So for anyone who wants to grow in his knwledge and love for the Catholic Faith, I wholeheartedly recommend one chapter a week of Ed de Vera’s book, ‘Catholic Soul.’ By the end of the year (there are 52 chapters) you would be a more rooted, more grounded Catholic, and without doubt, an Ed de Vera fan.” — Bo Sanchez – KERYGMA, Editor-in-Chief; Author, You Can Make Your Life Beautiful, Thank God He’s Boss, Your Past Does Not Define Your Future
