The questions asked and answers provided in this book were a constant reminder to me of why being Presbyterian is such a comfortable fit. Many of the questions posed in the book probably seem so simplistic that we feel we can't ask them because we should already know the answers! However, the answers provided are clear, tie to Scripture, and also provide comparisons to others denominations - therefore distinguishing Presbyterianism and our belief structure. It's also a quick read - so, certainly recommended for anyone who wants to brush up on being a Presbyterian!
