Book Review on Understanding Roman Catholicism

"Rick Jones' new book should be accepted by all who are unequivocally opposed to Catholicism, but just as adamantly compassionate towards Roman Catholics. Jones has done an exhaustive study of the new Catholic Catechism, and found it to be just as wanting as all the old catechisms. Hardly a judgmental treatment, though, his book merely places the revealed truth of God alongside statements of the catechism. An unbiased reader will be enlightened, if not shaken. This is a good book to give to Catholics. No bashing, no hatred, but no question about where Romanism stands in the light of God's Word. I especially like the addition of Rick's testimony, and his loving appeal for all believers to come out of her and be separate. These clear invitations from Rome to Christ are emphases missing in other modern 'classics' that tend toward ecumenicity and dialogue rather than repentance. As the book's jacket declares, 'If you don't have the time or desire to pour through the new Catechism's 803 pages, you need to read this revealing book...'".
