The truth will set ou free but first it will make kyou miserable.

This is an old book but it is funny and inspirational. I bought all I could for gifts. I guess it is out of print, now.

Don't Be Catholic Without It

This book describes almost identically my Catholic upbringing. Any Catholic will identify with this book as far the rituals (legalism) or bondage found in the church. I grew up without a bible (we were not allowed to read one), and had to take the priest's word as God's word. The Catholic Church never preached "salvation" per se and how critical it is to be "born again." This book explains the gaps in the church that have driven away members when they find the real "truth."

A bored Catholic finds practical help in his church & Bible.

Larry Tomczak relates his quest for success in the world, his encounter with a real Christian faith and renewed interest in the church of his youth, the Roman Catholic Church. Although Larry's narrative is specifically applicable to Baby Boomers all catholics can relate to the events in his life, his disenchantment and rejection of the Church and his surprising return. Tomczak's book is refreshing in the minimal evidence of Catholic bashing and his candid assesment of his own life and actions. A must reading for Catholics looking for more than just Mass on Sunday. (For more in this vein read "More Than A Carpenter" by Josh McDowell.)
