For over 25,000 people this excellent resource has provided a comprehensive and basic overview of the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Originally written by Fr Bill O'Shea and Peter Gagen, At Home with God's People had a major revision in 2010 by Fr Anthony Mellor. An editorial committee re-wrote the introduction explaining its use as a catechetical resource for the Catechumenate phase of the RCIA. It may also be used by the general reader or a small group.
