I have been feeling very down and depressed. I have always been a "catholic" but never really practiced besides my parents bringing me to church and going through basic cdc. I want to get into the bible and the teachings of god, but I do not know where to start and where to go from there. Would someone be able to give some suggestions? I feel like god is something this country needs desperately.

The Rational Faith - Truth loses nothing by being closely examined.
In this thought-provoking apologetic, international lawyer Jason Crook reviews the evidence for Christianity from a variety of scientific, historical, and logical perspectives—making the case that it is not only rational, but true. Written for both sceptics and Christians who want a deeper understanding of—and confidence in—their faith, it examines in detail key questions like:
Is there a God? Is the Bible credible? Can we establish that what Christianity teaches is true? Beginning with an overview of how the West rejected Christianity and why a book of this kind is necessary, its arguments build upon one another to support the conclusion that Christianity is the one true religion. It examines key scientific and logical grounds for the existence of God before testing other major religions to show why they cannot also be true. With Judaism and Christianity the sole survivors of these tests, it then focuses on the Bible to distinguish between them. Using a variety of evidentiary approaches, it examines how the Bible was created, how has it been transmitted over the ages, and how we can know it to be accurate. It then explores what the Bible teaches about man’s fall into sin and need of a redeemer—examining in detail the prophecies about this redeemer and how Jesus is the sole individual to fulfil them.
Drawing upon over five years of research and more than 1,200 source citations, The Rational Faith should not be ignored by any tough-minded inquirer.
