This elegantly redesigned and illustrated pocket catechism provides a wealth of detailed explanation and guidance on the Catholic faith. Its celebrated presentation of questions and answers over seven Parts: Faith, Hope, Charity, The Sacraments, Virtues and Vices, Rule of Life and Daily Exercise, and Some Common Prayers remains a classic still very much in demand. While probably the longest-standing pocket guide of its kind, it should not be considered an abridged version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994).
