5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer on Catholic Faith, December 3, 2011

This review is from: Our Catholic Faith (Paperback)

Excellent book for someone going through the RCIA program or others investigating the Catholic Faith. It is very easy to understand and provides the basic. It is by no means the complete doctrine of the Catholic Faith but gives enough information in my opinion as to whether one would wish to pursue the Catholic Faith in greater depth. It is also a good review for those who may already embrace the Catholic Faith. One must bear in mind however, it is written more for a high school student. But I found it very informative as a quick refresher text and I have been a Catholic all my life.

This book is a fine instruction on the Catholic faith. It would be much greater coming from a priest rather than a book. I have yet to find such a priest, it's left to the laity.

This is a very basic Catholic book. I really enjoyed how the text, when introducing new terms or info, reviews the background of the new vocabulary. My daughter is using this book for her religion class in high school, and it does not seem to be anything she did not learn already. However, I am sure that she will get some good review.
