When Ray Galea submitted his life to Christ, he had a problem on his hands: Which church should he go to?

”I did not want to assume that just because I was born a Catholic, this was by definition the right choice. I knew I could just as easily have been born a Baptist or a Mormon. So I spent the next six months reading and talking to priests and ministers to find out the differences between Catholics and Protestants. How did each of their teachings compare with the teaching of Jesus and the apostles?”

This book is a kind of retracing of Ray’s investigation, looking at key issues which continue to divide Protestants and Catholics, and assessing them in light of the teaching of Scripture.

A challenging and invaluable book for Protestants and Catholics alike.

Generous, kind and crystal clear

Mark Simpson

As a church leader, this book helps me to better serve those from a Roman Catholic background who are still not clear on the differences and why they matter. But it is written in such a way that I would also be able to give it to Roman Catholic friends without it being aggressive. It will also help me to engage more clearly and sensitively with Catholics in conversation.
Excellent choice

Nothing in My Hand I Bring is a re–tracing of Galea’s investigation; an investigation which led him to Christianity through faith in the Christ alone. This challenging and invaluable book is helpful for many reasons. Here are a few reasons why you should read this book. 1. Galea is gracious. It is no secret that religious discussion, comparison, and contrast leads people into conflict. Some of these conflicts boil into a warring words and unending strife. Argument, counterargument. Argument, counterargument. Galea’s book is different. While he does carefully interact with potentially offensive topics and opinions regarding Catholic beliefs – comparing and contrasting them with Scripture – his gracious approach helps readers think with him. Of course, anyone can be offended by almost anything, this gracious approach prevents offense. 2. Galea is knowledgeable. Galea is not an outsider who claims to look keenly into the Catholic traditions and beliefs. His firm and articulate Catholic upbringing has poised him to write with true knowledge. This true knowledge, of course, helps Galea to rightly divide the truth of Scripture, as it pertains to Roman Catholicism. The book, therefore, is not merely a collection of stale arguments. Instead, the book presents a specific and detailed account of these religious differences. With this knowledge of Catholicism and the Bible, Galea addresses the Catholic views on Christ, the Mass, the Bible, the way of salvation, the mother of Jesus, and much more. 3. Galea is focused on the truth. The same search for truth which led Galea to investigate his beliefs, also leads Galea to declare his findings from Scripture. In Nothing in my hand I bring, Ray Galea aims at and hits the right target: a winesome, reasonable, and wise account of the gospel as presented in Holy Scripture. And in the process, he effectively shows where the Roman Catholic doctrines drastically differ – doctrines which differ in such a way that they lead people away from salvation in Christ, and lead them to a fruitless attempt to earn God’s favor and forgiveness. Above all, this point makes the book a challenging and necessary resource. Catholics and Protestants will benefit from Galea’s thoughtful and purposeful points. 4. The book is short. 114 pages is not many and it makes this book an excellent recommendation to others. Even the slower or less interested reader can get through 114 pages. Additionally, Galea gives readers an engaging and well–paced read. This is an excellent choice for anyone interested in understanding the similarities and differences between Catholics and Protestants. Most importantly, this book will every reader better understand exactly what the Bible does teach about God, life, and salvation. Get it. Read it. Pass it on.
