This is an excellent review of the basic beliefs of the Catholic Church written by now Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington D.C. It is written in an easy to ready and down to earth style. An excellent book for adults who want to brush up on their knowledge of Church teaching, who are joining the Church, or returning to the Church. The book is broken into 83 short chapters followed by discussion questions.
