If you are looking for in depth answers this book is not it. However, I believe it is a great start for those of us either cradled catholics, converts or just the curious. The bibliography might be the next step for some since it obviously sites the resources used by the author.

I personally enjoyed reading about Catholic Customs, Devotions and Disciplines and about the Mass and Sacraments. The part about the Real Presence (#19) was very enlightening.

As a non-catholic trying to better understand Catholicism this was great! It did exactly what it said it was going to do.

Well written, but doesn't get into some of the stickier doctrines

I found the book informative, but as a work of apologetics it falls short. Too often it falls into the excessive triumphalism that plagues Catholic apologetics.

Overall I'm a big fan of the work Keating has done with Catholic Answers, but this work falls short
