A Map of Life

2016 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is a carefully made summary of the dogmatic teaching of the Catholic Church, making clear the content of Catholic doctrine. It provides the reader with an opportunity to get a firm hold on that body of truth-speculative and practical-that lies behind the steady spiritual development of the modern Catholic. Considered one of Frank Sheed's most accessible works, it is also considered as one of the best and most popular short summaries of the Catholic faith.
