Hi, guys —

I have a grandson in jail and he wants to know about the history of the Catholic Church.

I can't send him a book from my home; it needs to be sent from the publisher.

Can you tell me where I can order something from?

Thanks,

Great Grandpa Jerry
Seattle, Washington

Eric replied:

Hi, Gerald —

Try The Compact History of the Catholic Church by Alan Schreck.

Of course, given that he's in prison, perhaps he has the time to read Warren Carroll's
multi-volume set, A History of Christendom. [second source]

Hi, Gerald —

I know what you mean. I had a Baptist in prison who was interested in my FREE Catechism program. I had to send it from the USCCB Publishing office.
