If you have ever wanted a complete, easy-to-read, and practical explaination of the Catholic faith, this is the book for you.

From Abandonment and Abba to Worship and Zeal it is all here in this one volume. And the most impressive feature is that each article by the more than 150 contributors does not use a bunch of secular terms which defy understanding.

It also covers other major theological thought and actions so that it is suitable for those who want to learn and for those what simply want to brush up.

The New Dictionary of Catholic Spirituality is an important resource that pastoral ministers and spiritual book discussion leaders will want to add to their reference libraries. In one volume you can find concise, clear, scholarly yet accessible definitions of thousands of terms and movements in Catholic spirituality through the ages. Michael Downey has edited this volume so that it is readable for faith seekers from young adult through seasoned pilgrims. It is definitely worth the investment.
