Down to earth and informative.

As a convert, I am fascinated by Catholic culture and strive to incorporate into my life those "little things" that make Catholic life different from everybody else's life. This book is a real resource of ideas for religious practices that will make God part of all your life, not just one hour a week on Sundays.
Why I enjoyed reading this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
It lists lots of ideas of what you and your family can do on the holidays, feast days and special occasions. The book also includes specific recipes for that hoilday, the book lists prayers that every Catholic should know such as the Hail Mary and Our Father. The book also talks about important saints in our Catholic history.
Loved it

This is a very good book if you want new and/or fun ways to experience your Catholic faith.
This is what converts are looking for!

This is the kind of book that helps newly converted catholics to establish new family traditions. The book covers all the biggest feasts plus several minor feasts giving suggestions for prayers, tips for the kids, recipes. Of course this isn't a perfect book: some of the "traditions" seem to be rather strage and unfamiliar to everyone. But many of them are really nice ideas - at least I will have use of them even though I'm not a convert.Actually there were only two faults: a wider range of customs could have been presented. It would have given the reader a choice. If the reader is really creating a catholic family, a wider range of choices would be needed. The authors have also neglected the real everyday life with no festivities, devotional nook suggestions alone I find too little.But yes, well worth buying!
