"Becoming a Catholic . . . in 95 steps"
My friend and colleague, rock-star sociologist of religion Christian Smith, recently came into full communion with the Catholic Church and has a new book, available at Amazon, called "How To Go from Being a Good Evangelical to a Committed Catholic in Ninety-Five [get it?] Difficult Steps." I read the book in draft, and loved it. It has, I think, as much (maybe more) to teach (or remind) and challenge Catholics as it does to help curious Evangelical Protestants. It's not a polemic, by any stretch, and isn't really "apologetics", though it does have an Apologia Pro Vita Sua dimension. Highly recommended.
