Catholicism For Dummies
I wanted a book about my religion that wasn't dry or written primarily for clergy. This book is wonderful in that regard. It's written for the layman in 21st Century English. Filled with insightful tips and wonderful anecdotes, it's an easy read and quite enjoyable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is curious about Catholicism. Thank you to the seller for making it available.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Q & A for Catholic dummies
I bought this for my grandson who has just discovered Jesus and the Catholic faith. I read it many years ago myself. It's an excellent and witty guide to many often asked questions, full of church history and the "why do we do" that's. Highly recommended!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A book for all Christians.
I purchased two books, and both were practically new. This book was recommended to us by a local Deacon to help my wife get back into the Catholic Church. You do need to have your Bible handy, because of the many Chapter and verse references, without actually showing the reader the specific quote.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
