Catholicism from Scripture!,

This review is from: Catholic and Christian: An Explanation of Commonly Misunderstood Catholic Beliefs (Paperback)
On almost any catholic belief, this book takes you to the major scriptural references. This book will not offend the non-catholic like others may. Best overall explanation of misunderstood beliefs about the church I have read. Both Catholics and non-Catholics will benefit from this read. When I explain to my family and friends my reasons for converting, I usually refer to this book.

Free from doctrinal or moral error, excellent resource.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catholic and Christian: An Explanation of Commonly Misunderstood Catholic Beliefs (Paperback)
I have been a traditional Roman Catholic for the past 35 years of my life and because of this book I have a deeper understanding of my religious beliefs and practices. The Catholic faith is being questioned and challenged by Catholics and non-Catholics and I find that this book gives me easy to read explanations to questions that I might have about being a Catholic. I feel confident that I can explain and clarify misconceptions that others may have about Catholicism. The book is imprinted with the "nihil obstat and imprimatur" of Catholic Scholars and Clergy and as a result are official declarations that this book is free from doctrinal or moral error.

Are you a Protestant married to a Catholic?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catholic and Christian: An Explanation of Commonly Misunderstood Catholic Beliefs (Paperback)
This book helped me to understand and embrace my spouce's belief system. It helped me to understand that we have more incommon (ie the person of Jesus Christ) than I ever expected. It gave us great hope and strengthened both of our faiths. I have recommended this book to many contemplating marriage or who are frustrated and looking for answers in this area. It is clearly written in language that on catholics and catholics can both understand.
