Seems fantastic!

I haven’t used this a ton yet, I didn’t even realize Ascension had published a catechism until I went to buy the new notetaking Bible. But I’m really impressed so far, it’s a nice, readable layout way more beautifully designed than the well known big green catechism!). I’m sure the extra space for notes will come in handy. I saw some critiques of its binding, but honestly it looks well bound to me. The pages have a nice smooth matte texture and have a decent thickness, and the text is about the same as the notetaking Bible, so pretty readable. The four ribbons for each section are nice. The way it prominently shows the sources throughout, highlights important terms, etc is excellent. I highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful! My wife and I didn’t even want to open the book, because we were afraid to get it dirty. Great source of information and the tabs made searching for information easy. Thank you ascension.
