This is the book we have been using for our RCIA classes this year. It is not the type of book you would want to sit down and read cover to cover in one go as it is a little dry for that approach to reading but it was perfect reading a few chapters every week or two over a long period of time. I also found myself browsing through certain topics and will certainly refer to it in the future. Starting with a summary of the books of the Old Testament and ending with message that Jesus will come again, this book covers every Christian topic about Jesus for those new to Him and those who have already found Him. It then expounds on topics by introducing the Catholic viewpoint which may differ from the Protestant view, pointing out views which cause misunderstandings from Protestants and explaining these misunderstandings away. Then totally Catholic practices, beliefs and sacraments are explained. The book is cleared my head on many topics and backs itself up with Biblical quotes, and quotes from the Popes and Catachism. This is a book I will keep and refer to often as I refresh my mind on certain topics of the Faith. ( )

This popular Scripture-based catechism is as warm and readable as it is instructive. Covering the complete spectrum of Catholic faith and centering on Jesus, this book clearly embodies the spirit of Christian belief and practice. Includes a chapter-by-chapter study guide.
