La Salle student's review, April 24, 2000 Reviewer: Kevin Magarity from Oreland, Pennsylvnia
This was a great book that taught us a lot about the Protestant and Catholic faiths. I am a Catholic and this book still taught me a lot about Catholicism. Even though it was a good book the plot was still hard to believe. The book is about a boy from Philadelphia and his father dies in a fire. The boy moves to Kentucky for the summer with the rest of his family. In Kentucky his cousins and everyone else are all Fundamentalists and they would all love to see him and his family convert to Fundamentalism. The boy, Michael, ends up getting into a few arguments with some Fundamentalists that have studied the bible for many years. The part of the plot that I find hard to believe is how a 17 year old boy can study and learn all about the bible in a few weeks, but Michael has some great arguments defending the Catholic faith and I suggest that you read this book.

Philadelphia Boy Defends his Faith in Kentucky, April 17, 2000 Reviewer: Jon Molinaro from Philadelphia, PA
In the novel Philadelphis Catholic and King James's court, a teenage boy travels from his home town of Philadelphia to his uncles roral area of Kentucky. I felt that the book showed its reader, Catholic and Non-Catholic alike a different view upone what Catholics believe. Not only can you learn from the book but you can also get a different account towards other views of the Bible. I felt it was a good read for all those people who are interested in understanding the many differences between the many Christian Denominations. It not only shows the average person an easy way to learn about faith, but it also throws in an interesting plot line to move everything alone. I would say that the book could carry its plot with the story very well, but there were some points in the novel where the plot may have conversed with true fact and caused a unrealistic effect. Over all it was a good read for a person with an elastic understanding towards the different views of Christian denominations.
