Summary: Being frustrated is no sin that needs to be forgiven.
Review: Becoming frustrated is the starting point to seeking
solutions. Unfortunately, this book didn't offer many. When your own church turns into a scandal ridden organization, the last thing we need is more dogma piled on top of it. I'm still angry at my church and will work to reform it and i refuse to be ashamed of my frustration.

Summary: Now More Frustrated!
Review: I bought this book thinking it would help me with my frustrations with the Catholic Church. Now, I am still frustrated with the Church and with this book. It is very hard to grasp. I mean that this book is confusing, the words are not meant for an average person, they are meant for a priest or highly intellectual person who already understands everything about the church. In summary, this book is a bad buy if you are looking for something that will help you understand Catholiscm, not confuse you more.

Summary: If you want to end your frustrations, this is a start
Review: The frustrated Catholics come in many shapes and forms. Those that are philosophically aligned with one movement or the other, those that have personality conflicts, those that dissent or don't understand the doctrines of the Church, etc.Fr. Mitch's book is an introduction on how to deal with these frustrations. It isn't a book that will help you to quiet your conscience if it is flaring up. It isn't there to guide you into a "you are okay, I'm okay" analysis of your inner-child. What it does is helps those that have genuine frustrations who are within the Church. There are no quick-fixes or easy answers. That may turn some off, because they actually might have to study or work at changing themselves (the place where the frustrations lie). Practical and hard advice peppers the book. It is a quick read and easy to read. If frustrated, you might give it a try.
