The information provides a basic description of the various parts of a Catholic church and its contents and expands on their historical and traditional origins. I like the inclusion of scriptural passages--especially chapter/line references--allowing the reader to dig further. Other references; such as the writings of Church scholars; saints; etc.; are also very helpful in bulking up the readers understanding of the church symbols; decor; structure; icons and so much more.This is an essential book for those who just want to learn more about the church building and those who might feel that the "trappings" could be eliminated or are a distraction. It might even be of value as a "backup" to discussion around the dinner table. For the serious student of the subject though; it is somewhat cursory; but the references will be handy. I felt the authors could have offered more elaboration on some of the material.I would recommend this book to all Catholics and those who are interested in the real meaning behind all of those traditional arguments concerning the "trappings" of Catholic worship--especially the church building itself. I found it inspirational as well as informative.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Great First Communion PresentBy NinepipeThe Church by Cardinal Wuerl and Mike AquilinaThis book is the second in their trilogy series; The Mass being the first. It is a very easy book to read and would be an excellent Communion present for a late teen or an adult. Being a late convert to the Catholic Church (at 72 years of age); I did not know anything about the church building except that it has pews and there is an altar. This was the extent of my knowledge - but; not any more. Irsquo;m now savvy on the Churchrsquo;s interior furnishing from ambo and ambry to naves and tabernacle and everything in between. I even know that therersquo;s a poor box hidden away somewhere in my church. I now have to go searching. (LOL). From reading this book; I even know the name of the tinkling mass bells (sacring bells) and why the Church still uses them. This book is just loaded with tidbits of information. The chapter on Symbols and Abbreviations is fascinating. I even learned why we parishioners are dismissed so fast after receiving the Eucharist ndash; wersquo;re supposed to leave church; ldquo;to get out thererdquo; and carry the Word forth to the outside world. As these authors said; ldquo;Christians go to church for respite; not refugerdquo;.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. excellent quick readsBy Danny RodriguezGet all three books; excellent quick reads.
