The General Councils: A History of the Twenty-One Church Councils from Nicaea to Vatican II 2 reviews Christopher M. Bellitto
Paulist Press, 2002
Another View of the Church
+ "I Will Build My Church"
This short, well organized, clearly written, book opens a window on the church well worth looking into. It goes some way into correcting fundamentalist views of the Church as a monolithic organization run by a dictatorial head. It also sheds light on the way the Church addressed, or didn't address, ...

Salvation Is from the Jews: The Role of Judaism in Salvation History 26 reviews Roy H. Schoeman
Ignatius Press, 2004
Such amazing insights
+ Rate it from 1-5? I give it a 7! + Salvation Is From the Jews
Roy schoeman's book is amazing in that it gives the Christian reader an entirely new perspective of viewing the Gospels. Until reading this book, I'd never heard about the prophecy found in Daniel 9, which appears to predict that the Messiah will appear about A.D. 26, precisely the date that many ...

The Woman and the Dragon: Apparitions of Mary 4 reviews David Michael Lindsey
Pelican Publishing Company, 2001
Her Warnings, Our Struggles, and Inspiration
+ Great, but..... + The Woman and the Dragon: Apparitions of Mary.
Upon beginning this book I had anticipated information regards to the apparitions alone. Yet, the author has done extensive research in completing this wonderful literature which includes much, much more. I cried as I read the struggles of all the human races and Christianity; and, again because of ...

Catechism of the Catholic Church: Second Edition 52 reviews U.S. Catholic Church
Doubleday, 2003
excellent quality edition for the price-large print for its size
+ Great book, packaging, but too tiny texts
This was a good product in an easy to carry size. I bought it for my son for school and several of his friends ordered one right away. It is sturdy hardback construction but not too big for his backpack.

Triumph: The Power and the Glory of the Catholic Church 42 reviews H. W. Crocker III
Three Rivers Press, 2001
Great history and very entertaining
+ Chonology of papal Succession + A future classic
A very good historical record of the Church that pulls no punches and is a very fun and witty read. Triumph reads more like a novel than a history book. One word of caution however this book is not for "liberal Catholics". Mr. Crocker speaks the truth without worrying about "ecumenical" and other ...
