Recenzii
Mention -Book News, February 2009
"This book is written for an audience that has little or no formal training in theology. The author intends his book to be accessible to the general reader while offering solid theology. The question-and-answer format facilitates a conversation with the reader. While the book is organized according to the ordinary order of Christian theology, the reader may go directly to specific questions that are of interest to the reader... This is a book that parish libraries should have." --Lucien J. Richard, OMI, Catholic Library World
"The language is deceptively easy to read. By deceptive I mean that it doesn't seem to be leading the reader into profound meaning but that is exactly what it does. The author suggests reading around with pauses for meditation on the questions... it would thus be an excellent resource for confirmation classes for youth as well as adult inquiries" -- The Living Church
