Lent to me by the Sister leading our RCIA class
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
It's a simple enough book, with basic answers to the many questions people have about Catholicism. The Sister leading our RCIA class lent it to my husband and myself, along with another book, and my husband liked this one so much he wants to buy his own copy. Some people who have offered reviews are angry with it's view points, but I figure if thid was offered to us a a good reference while learning about the Catholic faith for a life-long comitment and conversion, It can not be all that bad with the church's teachings.
Why Do Catholics...

I have to agree with the first reviewer...this is a very helpful book! The second reviewer has totally missed the mark! When I came back to really become a Catholic, after having been baptized and yet away from the church for many years, this book was invaluable. It helped me to understand why Catholic believed various things. I've used it many times, for my own understanding and as a resource as a teacher in CCD classes. Highly recommended!
A good basis for background

I am a teacher of religion to Senior High School students. I have a Master's in Theology and have been a teacher for 13 years. I have been looking for a book that gives a good, basic overview of the huge amount of ritual and systemic theology written in such a way that you don't need a theological degree to understand it. I am pleased with the range of material covered and the presentation of complicated theories written in ways that the "average joe" could understand. I have found this a very useful tool to help our kids and would recommend it's use to anyone.
