Product Description
Like a recruitment officer for the army of God, author Robert Abel issues a bold call to Catholics everywhere. The Catholic Warrior takes readers through spiritual boot camp and teaches them to draw on the power of Christ through a warrior’s greatest weapons — faith, love and prayer. It concludes with the great commission for those who are willing to accept the challenge and join the ranks.
Stories of men and women performing deeds of valor on the spiritual battlefield didn’t end in Bible times or with the lives of saints from centuries past. Particularly in an era when priests are few and challenges are many, Christ needs laypeople who are willing to put on the full armor of God, push back enemy lines, and advance the kingdom of heaven here on earth.
Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime? Rise to your feet, all you mighty warriors. The Spirit of God says, "Come!" You are hereby commissioned!

A very timely book. Well written and easy to follow. I was able to resonate with much of the authors own experiences as most people pobably will. It gets back to the core of what it means to be a Catholic Warrior – a true Catholic. It is not filled with “bible thumping” rhetoric but simply states the facts and gives the reader a better understanding of the world and the reason we all seem to suffer and see such horror in the world today. It will encourage you to arm yourself against the forces of evil. This book truly makes sense in that the only way such horrors do exist is because we are engaged in a spiritual war and many people have fallen asleep and have strayed from the teachings of Jesus Christ. Whether you have strayed from the faith or are interested in understanding what it means to combat evil and spread loving kindness, this book will not disappoint you!
This is the best book I have read on being a Catholic. Robert Abel presents what the Catholic Faith is really about in an easy to read, interesting book. In each chapter he includes an interesting story related to the topic. If every catholic in the world read this book and became a Catholic Warrior, the world would be a different place to live in. The issue of the sex scandal in the Catholic Church is also presented in this book. My favorite chapter was on LOVE – what God’s love is like and how our lives and everyone around us would be different if we could love like God does even a few minutes a day.
I decided to read Catholic Warrior because I found it in a solid Catholic bookstore that I trust. Upon reading it I began to feel somewhat uneasy. There were times when it seemed like I was reading Rick Warren or Joel Osteen. The author uses Evangelical jargon and is quick to criticize ordinary pew sitting Catholics. I couldn’t find anything glaringly theologically amiss though. Just be careful. I’d say this is only for mature Catholics who have a real grasp on the basics of our Faith.
This book is great. It brought me back to the church. I have no idea how I ended up with it, but it profoundly changed my life….
My daughter had told me about this book so I purchased it. It was very in insightful. I would recommend anyone to read this book. I purchased two, one for myself and my daughter. It is very powerful. A must for every Catholic.
