Summary: Bertolucci Goes Back to Basics
Review: The key word here is "pastoral". Just because thebook has questions and answers, this is not to be confused with apologetics, which is the art of defending the Catholic faith with rational arguments. The questions here deal with practical, everyday problems e.g. What do I about my anti-Catholic husband? What is the Church's teaching on foul language? Is oral sex morally licit? So, it covers pretty important ground for the believer. Personally, this is not Bertolucci at his best. I prefer his books like his personal testimony "On Fire with the Spirit" and his book to youth "Straight from the Heart". Nevertheless, this is still a useful book. It's from one of America's most popular Catholic evangelists. It's clear and readable. And very pastoral.
