Why We Need Confession

By Russell Shaw

Russell Shaw explains in this book why only through sacramental Confession can you regain harmony of soul and the grace lost by sin. He provides concise rational explanations for what many have realized through their own experience: there is no substitute for divine forgiveness. Here is an excellent book to equip you to explain and defend the Church’s teaching about Confession — and a great gift to give to non-Catholics and skeptical Catholics to help them see that Confession is a necessity of any healthy spiritual life.
