Basic Preparation
 

Here's what you read to find out the real teaching of the Catholic Church. It may seem a bit intimidating at first, but once you get used to the structure it is invaluable!

 

The Compendium is a quick reference to the Catechism. It is written in a question-and-answer format. It is right to the point, but lacks the inspiration of the original.
 

 

We have a beautiful, expensive family Bible, but this inexpensive paperback is the one we actually read. We can take it everywhere without worrying about its being damaged. We've found no better way to prepare for Sunday Mass than reading our Sunday missal. It has all the readings for every liturgical season, complete description of the Mass, and lots of extras!
 

Favorite Classics
 

 

There are numerous translations of this amazing poem. We read this one and thoroughly enjoyed it. Make sure you go through the entire journey, from hell through heaven, to get the most out of the experience!

  Classic autobiography of the bad boy turned saint.

 

 

 

C. S. Lewis - practically everything he published!
 

The book Screwtape Letters is a quick, easy read. This audio book adds a new, chilling dimension;  Joss Ackland absolutely oozes evil.

 

 

A series of essays which are easy to read yet thought-provoking.

 

 

 

What you always wanted to know about Catholicism (at least, we did!)

  Johnson lets us know the meaning behind the tradition. A reader-friendly explanation of Catholic basics.

 

 

 

A reminder of just how important the Catholic Church has been throughout

 

 

 

  Okay, it looks huge. But considering that it covers 2000 years, it really is concise. We refer to it frequently to get a flavor of what was going on with the Church during any era.   It doesn't get much more straight-forward than this. A very helpful reference for all of us!
