This review is from: Handbook of Indulgences (Library Binding)

This edition is written in English and is the result of the efforts of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops of the United States, which was first, published in 1988. This is the Third Edition of the Handbook of Indulgences.

This book explains Norms and Indulgences. It the book explains and lists the three general types of Indulged Grants and the other type of Indulgenced Grants. With this book you will learn exactly what is required to receive a partial indulgence or plenary indulgence. All the prayers that grant indulgences are listed.

The book is easy to read and use. And is well documented. If you are Roman Catholic this is a must have.

This is a wonderful book. It may have been meant more for clergy even though most of the prayers are for personal benefit. The reason I say it may be more for the clergy is this book greatly details what an indulgence is and the conditions surrounding it. But it is full of information and prayers for lay people also. For example, did you know that just by making a proper Sign of the Cross (In the Name of the Father...) there is an indulgence attached to it? I myself tried to plow through all the "rules" but finally went right to the prayers. All in all, it is an excellent resource.

This book is very good to have in ones home. The Litany's alone are worth the price of this book. Being a practicing Catholic means you must continue to grow spiritually. Jesus Christ is the Catholic Church. He is present there. Not on some mountain. If you ever want to see what your really made of, sit in the confession line, then you'll know.{If you've been away for a long time, go to confession, repent and give your sins to Jesus, and you'll feel great. Then stay close to him.} There are many prayers, Rosary's, Chaplets, medals, scapulars...old prayers of Saints which will help you. Many you can find right on line. Read up on Mary...fatima, Lourdes and La Salette, and you may be enlightened. Call on Jesus Christ humbly and he'll find you. Then go to a Basilica or a Shrine.
