Catholic Book Summaries Reading Program

The Catholic Book Summaries Program includes 50+ summaries of Catholic books all organized in a concise, clear, and complete manner.

With so many books for Catholics to read and understand, Catholic Book Summaries is an attempt to synthesize some of the most well-known traditional and contemporary classics for today's Catholics. Meant for Catholics of all ages, this collection of online summaries is your guide to understanding dozens of books in a fraction of the time required to read them all.

Book summaries should not be confused with book reviews. CatechismClass.com's book summaries are concise but thorough summaries (in the range of 8-15 pages) that present you with all the main points, highlights and arguments from a Catholic book.

Summaries are available in PDF download in English for offline access and printing.
