From a surprising surge in Gen Z conversions to a growing movement of college students entering the Church, a spirit of renewal is taking hold.

Drawing on the wisdom of great Catholic thinkers--G. K. Chesterton, St. John Henry Newman, St. Teresa of Calcutta, Peter Kreeft, and Bishop Barron--he explains how the Church, even with its imperfections, offers the most meaningful answers to life's biggest questions.
