Synopses & Reviews
Written in simple prose that is accessible to the lay reader, this is a concise and inspiring guide to the timeless essence of Catholic wisdom. Presented in a fully revised and updated new edition, each chapter presents one tenet in its meaning and wider context, then provides an explanation of the practical application of that ideal in one's life of faith. Subchapters explain how each idea relates back to the basic dogmas of the Catholic Church, illustrating those core dogmas and debunking the many myths that surround them.
