Catechism of the Catholic Church

What does it mean to be Catholic? Whether or not you ascribe to this body of faith, the Catechism of the Catholic Church answers the questions one is sure to have about what members of the Catholic Church believe and why.  The expansive work was compiled due to changes brought about by Vatican II and a desire to bring Catholics to a clearer understanding of their faith.  Divided into four major sections, the text is organized using a question- answer format with explanations and footnotes guiding the reader to a deeper interaction with the Church's teachings.  An indispensable volume for any theology student, researcher, passionate or casual enthusiast of Catholicism.

An Enjoyable Read for the Harried Soul

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Wanting to escape the frenetic pace of your grown up responsibilities? John Grisham's The Litigator might be just what your Saturday afternoon is craving.  The main character, Attorney David Zinc, is cracking up; his grasp on reality has been eroded by the incessant demands of work in a corporate law firm. A providential meeting with two equally distressed partners at a "boutique" law firm provide the background for this story about persevering through life's garbage to find the treasure; loyalty to humanity and passion for the greater good.
