Summary: yellowcat
Comment: As a Baptist raised in fundamentalist tradition, this book opened my eyes. The reason I started to take interest in Catholicism is by a event: I personnally know many Catholic friends who displayed a fruitful Christian life -- and fundamentalist friend who utters the worst from his mouth.
This does not square with what the Bible teaches that you can tell a tree by its fruits. The author's pilgrimage to Catholicism also confirmed many of my doubts: is the accusations by Fundamentalist to RC true ? My interaction with Roman Catholics, my research on church history and checking many of Fundamentalists' claim is telling me the opposite.
This book is a must read for FUNDAMENTALIST !
From the part of the world where this information is not widely spread, I hope that a translation to my language can come out soon.

Summary: Catholics CAN learn to defend their faith!
Comment: As a cradle Catholic who grew up with faith as the only defense of my beliefs, it became increasingly difficult to answer the queries and allegations presented by my protestant acquaintances. I wasn't armed with the objective information needed to give those who would accuse me of worshipping Mary, denying the resurrection, and other common attacks of my Church. It was obvious that THEY had no idea what the Catholic Church really teaches, but it was equally true that I didn't either. After reading this book (5 times so far), I have become much better 'armed' to correct those common misconceptions from both Catholic and Protestants. Because of this book, I have spent many hours searching the scriptures and the Catechism of the Catholic Church....a practice long neglected! I have developed a new love of my faith, and a desire to share it...rather than constantly being on the defense from those well-meaning but uninformed 'experts' who would 'save' me from the Church that preserved the very Bible they themselves profess to follow. This book is a 'must read" starting point for Protestants who can discern unanswered questions in their own faith, and for any Catholic who finds themselves constantly trying to defend their beliefs or experiencing a crisis of faith. Give it five stars!

Summary: Excellant until the last chapter
Comment: Enjoyed the book although his attitude about the Fundamentalists seems to occassionally get in the way. However, he really lost me with the last chapter, Morals. This chapter was essentially a quick summarization of the same old rigid, shallow Vatican views on marriage, sexual orientation, birth control, etc that has pushed literally tens of millions away from the Church. I was hoping he would have something interesting and insightful to say about that subject.
Despite that, I would recommend this book to anyone initially exploring the Catholic faith.
