The first book that I finished this year was Introduction to Christianity by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI). This book is just one of many books I have read by the cardinal. From the very first book by him that came to my hands (Spirit of the Liturgy) I was drowned into this man's incredible mind.

A Ratzinger book is always full of insight and it is almost impossible to pull all the information out of his books on the first read. Introduction to Christianity is no different. It is a deep book. A book that follows the Apostles Creed as the basis of explaining the Christian faith. Faith that is not just something abstract that people do in their spare time but real and fundamental aspect of reality. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
