Customer Reviews

Great for a newbie!

I have enjoyed skimming through this when I have a chance. My family and I have recently switched from attending our local Catholic Church to our local Presbyterian church and the book has been great for getting some ideas on how the churches differ and how they are set up. I have even started taking it along to our adult Sunday school that we attend while the kids are in class....

Great Intro to being Presbyterian and Reformed

Donald McKim's book is a marvelous introductory work for inquirers and many who have been Presbyterian for a long time. The questions are those that are REALLY asked by people, and the answers are cogent and short. (Something we pastors might learn!) This book can be used in New Members Classes or Inquirers classes, as well as being read privately by other interested people. Young people and young adults will value this, also. Keep a few copies on hand....they'll come in handy!

Gets to the point.

The title I gave this review says it all. I found this book very pleasurable to read. The question / answer format of this book provides the reader brief but concise information about the Presbyterian Church (USA) beliefs and practices. I would recommend this book to any inquirer or a lifetime PCUSA member who would like a refresher course in their faith.

Good book

I am a Presbyterian Pastor and just used this book for a new member's class. Very well written and concise too. Highly recommended.

Great for an overview

I was interested in learning more about the Presbyterian Church (USA). This book is good for a quick overview on all things, but it does not go into great detail on any subject. Nevertheless, it has proven to be a very useful book. I do recommend it especially for people who do not really know what the Presbyterian Church teaches and are interested.
