Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Love his other work, not this
This book seems to be a rehashing of some of Scott's other work. I was disappointed. This book is GREAT for people who really want to learn more but are just starting a faith journey, it's one to share with friends, but it left me wanting more



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hahn does it again
With simplicity and with prayer, Hahn gives us the basics of our Catholic gestures and behaviors. Well done!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Scott Hahn's Signs of Life
Great theologian and great writer! Excellent reference for Catholics and also for non-Catholics who wonder about Catholic sacraments, practices and rituals. Scott provides the meaning and tradition.

One problem: I ordered one book, received two and was charged for two books. I do not want a second copy and would appreciate a refund.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not much new
Alot of the info in this book is readily available elsewhere. I'd give the book an OK, but a little redundant when compared with Scott's other books.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Signs of Life
I like what I have read so far. I think it would be great for teaching RCIA class.
