" The Born Catholic
will find in this book a sensitive rephrasing of all the he treasures in his faith, but presented in the
refreshing light of all that is best in modern learning and with special sections that come to grips with change.

The New Catholic
will find an overview of the Catholic tradition that is wide enough to provide a perspective, but detailed
enough to provide a realistic foundation for his new-found faith.

Someone Who Is Not A Catholic
will find here a survey of Catholic beliefs and practices written in a language and with a sympathy
that makes them accessible, understandable and related to what is and not just what should be true
of the Catholic Church. "
