4	X	Catechism of the Catholic Church	The Church	1	1	This catechism aims at presenting an organic synthesis of the essential and fundamental contents of Catholic doctrine, as regards both faith and morals, in the light of the Second Vatican Council and the whole of the Church's Tradition. Its principal sources are the Sacred Scriptures, the Fathers of the Church, the liturgy, and the Church's Magisterium. It is intended to serve "as a point of reference for the catechisms or compendia that are composed in the various countries".	The Catechism of The Catholic Church is a key reference for anyone looking to grow in their knowledge of the faith. It is the best starting point for understanding why the Church believes what it does and offers, in plain English, explanations and reasoning for such.	If someone has a difficulty or question about a particular subject of the faith many times the answer or the beginning of the answer can be found in the text of the Catechism which often provides Scripture passages, writings of the Saints, and other Church documents for further reading.	gtcc.co/ccc Searchable pdf	X- Essential

Additionally, Augustine's thoughts on many issues from philosophy to culture and music have formed the basis for Catholic thought for centuries.

If you know someone who would benefit from experiencing how the pursuit of truth transformed the life of one man, this is the book to recommend.		S- Suggested
