I thought it was heavy on the theology and I would only suggest it to those that have a Spiritual Director (or knowledgeable sponsor for those coming into the Catholic faith) because it's heavy on the theology, and theology that you may not have been taught in Sunday School. I also liked that the author compared the Catholic faith and it's beliefs (and practices) to the Protestant faith and other beliefs -- I liked this because I don't know much of anything about Protestantism and I liked getting the comparison. It is very well written! A truly amazing read, I thought. My brother is going to read it next, and then my good friend is going to take it to read, and I'm going to buy one for my friend out west for Christmas. Adrianne no reviews | add a review
In his first full-length book since converting to Roman Catholicism over ten years ago, Thomas Howard presents his wonderful, refreshing insights on the "glad tidings" of the deeper meaning of Catholic piety, dogma, spirituality, vision and practice, rendered in his unique style of prose for which he is well-known. The book's chapters take the form of lay meditations on Catholic teaching and practice, opening up in practical and simple terms the richness at work in virtually every detail of Catholic prayer, piety, liturgy and experience.
