Summary: Thought-Provoking
Comment: Howard, a convert, reflects on the topics of Man's Nature, Unity, Eucharist, Going to Church, the Mass, the Gospel, Salvation, Prayer, Mary, Humanity, Hiddennes, Tradition, Freedom, and the Crucifix. All are very thought-provoking reflections that nail what it means to be Catholic. His views on things are so beautiful, at times, I wanted to cry. This book should be read by all active Catholics, pew potatoes, and Protestants who are considering conversion/married to a Catholic. However, it is not apologetics and wouldn't be that good for other groups of people.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book is a feast
Comment: On Being Catholic is one of the most beautiful, winsome books on Catholicism that I have ever read. Howard bridges the cultural and theological gap between Protestants and Catholics in a most appealing and gracious manner. I would recommend this book to anyone for whom the Catholic Church is a Big Unknown, whether that be a "cradle Catholic" or a seeker from another tradition. You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Beautiful!
Comment: This is a beautiful book that was instrumental in my decision to convert to Catholicism. With warmth and respect, Howard explains how and why Catholicism is different that Protestantism. Howard uses many poignant illustrations and analogies to make his points. Especially enlightening is Howard's treatment of the Catholic beliefs on Mary and the Communion of Saints. This is a aspect of Catholicism that especially troubles many Protestants and Howard's astute treatment of the subject should allay fears and dispell misunderstandings. In sum, this is a wonderful book and an excellent introduction to Catholic belief and practice.
