"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.

Rick,

That's exciting, and I am glad to hear it. I enjoyed his book "Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers" and looking forwards to reading his newest book.
