I read this book because we are using the Symbolon program for RCIA at our church. This book was dry and wordy and it had tiny black and white pictures that were barely decipherable. The video program is a little bit better.

A book I found easy to read and comprehend. I’ve in the process of converting to Catholicism and this book helped clear up my understanding of the church.
