This book may be said to approach the conveying of the truth of the Catholic faith to newcomers on the basis of the Creeds that have stood the test of time. In the final analysis conviction and conversion are the work of the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Divine Love! Therein lies a process of growth in which the goal is to be "an aroma of Christ for God's sake" (St. Paul). Conversion is like the growth of a flower in which we rejoice when we see it in full bloom. However without being rooted in good soil and nourished it will die. Therein lies the importance and value of a catechesis and the emphasis on the Creed which has survived the onslaughts of two millennia.
