Summary: Led me back to the Church
Comment: I read this book in order to more fully understand the practices of the Church. At the time I was a non-denominational Christian. It is very concise and also written with humor. I found myself thinking "Wow, so that's why they do that!" many times. I reccomend this book to Catholics who want to learn more about their Church and Her practices and also non-Catholics with open mind who are just curious and want a clear explaination of the "wierd" rituals and history associated with the Church.
Rating: 5
Summary: this was a great book
Comment: I bought the book hoping to learn a little about the Catholic religion since I don't know too much at all. I was amazed at all the information given by the author. Not only did I learn a lot, but I didn't get board with it either. I tend to start a book and give up if it doesn't really grab me, I couldn't put this one down! I finished it and was ready to read it again. It is a great book for anyone mistified buy what goes on in the Catholic church and why. I think it would also be great for someone who has gone to a Catholic church thier whole life, I was able to tell my Fiancé some things he didn't even know . He has been going to Catholic mass since he was born!

Summary: Wonderful book
Comment: It's a shame that a handful of disingenuous reviews weighed-down the overall rating for Johnson's wonderful book.
One reviewer claims that the Church recanted in recent years and came to agree with Luther's view of salvation. That's simply false; the Church has always believed in salvation by grace. Pope John Paul II's recent dialogue with Lutherans was an example of ecumenism, not backsliding.
Moreover, Johnson's book is in part a work of apologetics, and he ably defends the Faith against common accusations leveled against it by critics. If those defenses offend one's tender ears, then simply avoid apologetics.
