This is a superb account of the American Catholic experience. Father Crews is a master storyteller and a careful historian. This book is easy to read. History comes alive. Catholic people are presented with all their holiness and warts. Crews tells the story of the people of God, demonstrating his sensitivity to the diversity of the ethnic, religious, and theological tradition. It will be especially useful in college and seminary courses as well as in adult education.

Reader Reviews
I greatly enjoyed my reading of this book in the spirit in which it was intended, not as a definitive historical textbook, but as the author described it in his introduction: "The brief account within these pages attempts to present many of the major personalities, movements, spiritualities, conflicts, changes and constancies within the American Catholic community." I enjoyed this book for its sweeping overview, the delightful photographs and illustrations that complimented the text, and the interesting discussion questions peppered throughout the various chapters. Surely the story of Catholicism in America is one that can be told from countless perspectives, as is true with any wonderful story. I enjoyed my reading of this account and learned many new and interesting things along the way.
