From LCMS to Catholicism, book recommendations?

[mikecnorthwest]

I’m a lifelong LCMS member exploring converting to RC. My wife of 25 years is RC but attends an LCMS church and our two daughters are baptized/confirmed LCMS. Other than the Catholic Catechism, is there one or two other books that are recommended for learning more about Catholic worship? I’m not really looking for a book designed to convince me to convert, just something that explains more in layman’s terms the basics of RC worship. And yes, I do plan to speak to a local priest and would take his guidance as my primary source of information.

How wonderful! :extrahappy: I think you’ll find that Catholicism is a truly rich Faith.

As for book recommendations, I would suggest “Catholicism for Dummies”:

I will pray for your conversion!

Both “Dummies” books should be very helpful. They are written for the layman, and contain a concentrated amount of information on the beliefs and practices of the faith, as well as the reasons behind them. Highly recommended.
