The original edition of Growing Up Catholic, along with its sequels, struck a heavenly chord with ageneration of Catholics of all persuasions. Now, to commemorate the Great Catholic Jubilee of the Year 2000, the authors bless us with an updated and expanded version of this beloved national bestseller. Filled with a witty, poignant, and downright hilarious potpourri of essays, lists, games, drawings, photos, and quizzes, it includes the best of all three Growing Up Catholic books, along with many all-new features, such as:
Jubilee 2000: Not Your Average Birthday Party
Father Phil: Confessor to the Sopranos
Who Will Be The Next Pope?: A Handicapper's Guide
Ansubstantiationtray: Can't Anybody Here Speak Latin Anymore?

For Catholics of all ages -- from those who lived through Vatican II to those who've never seen a nun's habit except in a movie -- Growing Up Catholic celebrates in a lighthearted way the funny and sublime side of day-to-day Catholic life.
My Review:
I did grow up Catholic and many people in my family are still practicing Catholics. I consider myself more of a non-denominational Christian now. I had never heard of this book so when I saw it I thought it would make for an interesting read. It definitely was. It has wonderful artifacts and history spread throughout the book. It is not a novel. There are different sections that you can pick up and read. I really enjoyed that. If you grew up Catholic, I definitely think that you will enjoy this book. I will be gifting it to my grandmother, who is the "most Catholic" in our family. I'm sure it will get lots of reading at family gatherings.
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
