Yea, Bob the catechism teacher gave me that book.

My efforts to join the Catholic Church have failed, but as a catechumen in the Orthodox Church went very well. . .

I wouldn't use that book for serious inquirers. . .

I totally agree with all of the above recommedations and if after reading the above or even during the reading the above you feel so inclined to learn more I would suggest you contact the nearest Catholic parish priest to you and ask him about it.

I'm very glad that my RCIA instructor had us read the Catechism, but I'll admit it's not exactly light reading. For most people, I would recommend the Compendium of the Cathechism, which condenses it a bit.

Being a big Peter Kreeft fan, I also like to recommend his Catholic Christianity.
