Great theologian and great writer! Excellent reference for Catholics and also for non-Catholics who wonder about Catholic sacraments, practices and rituals. Scott provides the meaning and tradition.
One problem: I ordered one book, received two and was charged for two books. I do not want a second copy and would appreciate a refund.

Alot of the info in this book is readily available elsewhere. I'd give the book an OK, but a little redundant when compared with Scott's other books.

I like what I have read so far. I think it would be great for teaching RCIA class.

Thank you, Dr. Hahn
I am a cradle Catholic and did not understand the background of the sacramentals that I had been using all my life. It was enjoyably eye opening to see the why's behind the actions. I recommend this for anyone who has wondered why Catholics do what they do from the use of Holy Water to sit, stand, kneel (body posture) at the celebration of the Holy Mass. Dr. Hahn answers questions like why do we have Advent and Lent, what is behind making the sign of the cross and much more.
Each custom is it's own chapter and is no more that 4 or 5 pages with a meditation (pondering) at the end of each. An easy and enjoyable read. J. Glenn
