A book review

Today I received in the mail a great little book: Essentials for Christian Living: Prayers and Truths of the Catholic Church with Space for Personal Reflection published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

I quite like this book.

The book is divided into several categories, including prayers, formulas of Catholic doctrine, what is the faith, what does faith give, and what does the faith require.

With each prayer or formula are references to the Cathechism of the Catholic Church and an historical note or some other note helping the prayer or formula.

This will be a helpful book, both for reference and personal reflection.
