Essentials of the Faith: A Guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church

We challenge you to find a better, more understandable, more accessible guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Second Edition, than this newly updated classic.

Essentials of the Faith is more than a brilliant guide to the Catechism. It's also a practical handbook for putting those timeless teachings of the Church into daily life. Everything you need to know about the Catholic Faith is presented in short topical chapters, tied directly to the principles so marvelously articulated in the Catechism.

With reflections, prayers, and daily action to help you live out what you've learned, Father McBride's stunning presentation of the truth helps all of us make doctrines not just what we believe, but how we live.
