Hello I am new to the forum and I am interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith, are there any books that anyone can recommend? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Merry Christmas to you.
There will likely be some numerous answers here. But it may take a day or so as I am sure many people are preparing to go to Mass tonight or tomorrow.
There are some “Catholic 101” style books out there…Catholics for Dummies, etc.
I am reading the Faith Explained now (Fr Trese)…very well written. Sound, no-nonsense. I think the best answer may depend on where you’re coming from…if you’re looking for more doctrinal type material…why Do Catholics believe what they do, etc…then maybe one of the 101 type books would do, or a book on Catholic apologetics.
If you’re interested a bit more in how Catholics try to live or build an interior life with God…how we pray, how we worship, how we understand charity, how we use the sacraments to help us grow in holiness…there are some other books. Trese covers a lot.
The Catechism is on line and it may be too much at once, but it is written profoundly well.
Maybe tell us a bit more what your starter questions are and we’ll be happy to help.
Joy to you and to your family and friends.

On this website (Catholic.com), click on the READ tab and select TRACTS. Then go to the SEARCH box above and type Apologist’s Bookshelf. You will be given a list of excellent books that are recommended by Catholic Answers. I have already read some of them. I have a few of them on my bookshelf that I plan to read. You won’t be disappointed! God bless you and Merry Christmas!
