       Catholic-Christian- Spiritual None- What difference does 
       it make? Sharing the Faith used to make some people mad 
       because it challenged and clashed with their own strong 
       beliefs. Today it makes a lot of people yawn because they 
       don't have strong beliefs about anything. Catholic 
       Apologist Matt Nelson says this religious indifference is 
       the great spiritual sickness of our age a product of the 
       relativism that dominates modern culture. If you find 
       fulfillment in your faith or lifestyle, great, the idea 
       goes; but that doesn't mean it's true for me or anyone 
       else. The consequences of this mentality are all around us
       : a neglect of truth, apathy towards the important 
       questions in the universe, and since we're designed to be 
       fulfilled by God, not idle pleasures, widespread 
       unhappiness. In Just Whatever, Matt takes down the 
       building blocks of religious indifference one by one. He 
       looks at the three different kinds you tend to encounter 
       in your friends and family members (and maybe in 
       yourself!) to see where they come from and why they're 
       seductive. In their place, he offers a compelling vision 
       of a world in which it matters what you believe, who you 
       worship, and where authentic truth and authority reside. 
       And he helps you present that vision to others with 
       clarity and love"--Amazon.com
