3.0 out of 5 stars This isn't a book for those seeking only light reading., September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Sins Are Forgiven You: Rediscovering the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Paperback)

Another title for this book might be "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about the Sacrament of Reconciliation." It's all here, especially the history of its origin and development since the days of the early church. It is not an easy book to read but a necessary one to read for anyone deeply interested in this Catholic sacrament. I came to the book lukewarm on the sacrament and went away convinced of its necessity on a regular (not just annual) basis for devoted Catholics who wish to deepen their faith, especially in how it relates to their everyday lives. Since I am a book editor, I didn't rate the book any higher than I did simply because the author's style is often obscure, difficult, or simply redundant. I also found the book poorly organized, minus any strong sense of overall cohesiveness.
