So, could you recomend some books to me that might offer a good explanation of the Catholic faith and beliefs?
Thank you!

Paul S said:A good introductory book is the Catholicism for Dummies, with the yellow cover.
Hands and Feet of Jesus said:I did find one book, Letters Between a Catholic and An Evangelical, that offers a more balanced view on some of the major issues that Protestants and Catholics devide on. However, it doesn't explain many things as well as I would like, since it is more of a debate than an introduction to Catholicism. (although, it has been quite helpful in clearing up some misconceptions I had)

Carly said:I strongly recommend you disregard that book. It is put out by the vociferously anti-Catholic Harvest House Publishers and James McCarthy. He himself is bitterly ex-Catholic and is known for taking the words of Catholics and editing them to miscontrue the original intent. I've read the book and it is generally a poor presentation of Catholic beliefs. I apologize for sounding so negative but James McCarthy just sets off the warning bells and red flags.
