A useful tool to learn about what we should already know, but might have forgotten.

The official Catechism of the Catholic Church is somewhat difficult to follow as it has so many sub-headings and the younger people might be put off by it. This compendium makes things a little bit easier to follow and to help to find most of what a person might be looking for. It is a good book to have in the home, along with a Baltimore Catechism, to learn or to brush up on the Teachings of the Church.  +JMJ+

It is good for things you thought you knew, but have missed the little bit in-between on your project you are doing. Mainly beginners,
 I picked up quite a lot from this book. Going back to It when I didn't quite understand things in another book.

This book covers uses for various supplements that are not always covered by other vitamin books.
The information is very helpful, but a few things are a little out of date, mostly because of what was or wasn't available when the book was written.
Overall, a good addition to your nutrition library if you're interested in using supplements or knowing more about what certain nutrients do.

While it was useful, it would have been better if I had been able to access electronic flashcards and tests.

Although some of the content may now appear to be out of date, the foundations of the text remain useful.

some explanations are a bit difficult to understand so if you want to learn from it might not be the best but very handy if you just need it as a reminder to knots you already know but cant just remember bits

I had already been following Jimmy's website, so I knew a lot of this.  But it did have some good information that I had not yet picked up.

Helpful, I learned a few new things about Disneyland that I would not have learned on my own most likely.

Commenting on material that has been studied over a period of fifty years, as have those from the Second Vatican Council seems repetitive.  However, that's just the point:  Now this reader has more of an interest in particular areas as opposed to wanting to read the book cover-to-cover.  Editor Flannery has included not only essentials, but some responses to the basics.  The index is an excellent tool for one looking back on an otherwise familiar subject.  My disappointment was finding text so tightly placed on the margins that it made opening the book wide--and it is an older book--a bit discouraging.  Still, the material is essentially the same and especially helpful with subdivisions in bold.  I recommend it as a comparison volume.

An interesting compilation of facts, but not not a great deal of new material.

Useful to some extent, but many of the questions offered to provoke conversation are ones that seminarians or theology professors might be able to tackle and find interesting...my folks would have no clue what I was talking about.  I also have found that many of the conversation-starters reappear in more than once section of the book.  This will prove to be an occasional resource....

It was a very interesting feature, a good deal of it was new to me, so I learned a little more history.

It has some older information that can't really be used today, at least in America, but overall, it is a pretty insightful book!

I encountered two or three items of which I had not previously read.  Most of the information I already knew.

Would be a good supplement for a high school history class, and a springboard for further research at that level.

One of a kind author combined with knowledge that might have otherwise been lost.

Nothing new, not exactly comprehensive, but still useful.

Even though it's a bit out of date, there is a lot of worthwhile info in this book.
