Summary: A Rare Gem
Comment: This book is an easy-to-read, yet scholarly, account of How and Why Catholics "do what they do." As a cradle Catholic myself, I was surprised at how much I did not know about the evolvement of my own traditions and the symbols behind them. Every single question I had about the foundations of practice were addressed in this book; how someone becomes a Saint, explanations of Papal hierarchy, the meaning of Holy Water, the Rosary, and dozens of other critical topics.

This is the best book you can have in your hands when someone asks "Why do Catholics do that?"

Excellent!

Summary: Understanding the Catholic Church for dummies
Comment: Even though I am a devout Catholic, there are many parts of my faith that I did not really understand. How do we know so much about Mary ? Where did the Rosary come from ? Why do we have the Sign of Peace at Mass ? All these and more are answered by Kevin Johnson in a clear to understand manner. He delivers truth with a purely historical background. The book starts out with the foundation of the Catholic Church and continues on to the devotions, and explanation of almost everything in the Catholic Faith. His concise explanations are very clear for an unbeliever or a believer. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Catholic Church or a Catholic is is trying to better understand their faith.
