Review Quotes: G.I. Williamson has once again done the church an invaluable service. . . . In simple and clear language he has opened up the wealth of the Catechism for all to see. G.I.'s long experience as a teacher of catechism has given him the expertise and wisdom that make his study guides so successful....
