5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference on 2000 years of Catholocism., October 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Catholic Source Book: A Comprehensive Collection of Information about the Catholic Church (Paperback)
I received this a few days back and have not been able to put it down. It has answers to questions you didn't even know you had. A clear, concise "almanac" of everything about the Life of Christ, the Bible, and the Catholic Church- the church that Christ founded.

This NEEDS to be on your shelf right next your Bible, Catechism, and Crusifix.

May God bless all who read this with a full appreciation of the Catholic Faith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basic Catholic Information and More, July 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Catholic Source Book: A Comprehensive Collection of Information about the Catholic Church (Paperback)
What a fabulous resource! So much in a single book of 500 pages. The anecdotes throughout provide a human touch to the information. The index provides fast access to the book's contents. Wonderfully laid out and really easy to use. I'm ordering one for all the teachers in the religion department.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great starting place, August 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Catholic Source Book: A Comprehensive Collection of Information about the Catholic Church (Paperback)
This source book contains brief entries on thousands of topics on Catholic history, traditions, etc. You won't find detailed information - but that's not the purpose of the book. It's meant to provide quick facts. I use this as a starting place - this gives me enough information to carry on with a more extensive search elsewhere, if I want to know more.
