Answer 4

A friend of mine read "Catholicism for Dummies" and said it was very down to earth and informative on the theological beliefs of the Catholic Church and the biblical background for those beliefs. This book was the start of her study of the Catholic faith. I will look around and see what websites I can find and post them.

Google Catholic Answers and Catholic Cities, and read anything by Dr. Scott Hahn.
