The presence of the Catholic Church in the United States reaches back to the founding days of our country through the leadership of Archbishop John Carroll, the first Catholic bishop in the United States. His story, like other stories at the start of the chapters in the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults, gives us a glimpse into the lives of Catholics who lived out their faith throughout our country's history. To listen to an audio sample.

Wish I had gotten this book years ago. It is a must reading/reference book for all true Catholics.

Much more understandable than the Catholic Catechism. A desirable format for all Catholic's interested in learning more about their faith!

This is very good reading about the Catholic church Catechism. It very readable in a very simple language that everyone can follow.
Thanks.

This does not have all the doctrinal points of the stock CCC, but that's a good thing. This catechism is more like a high school history book which makes it easier (depending on how you did in history I guess) to get the nuggets of wisdom that we can apply to our every day lives, and to help us grow in the faith. At the beginning of each section is the story of a saint, and this story leads into the topic at hand. Following each topic is a review and quiz. Instead of bogging you down with doctrinal points it clearly and adequately explains several tenets of the Catholic faith in an easy to follow manner. This seems like it could be useful in a classroom setting. I enjoy studying it.

This book is helpful in explaining the Catholic faith, what we believe and why we believe it. In addition to the Holy Bible this book will help you to deepen your relationship with God. It provides the reader with clarity and opens up a better understanding of Catholic tradition that has been handed down over the centuries.
