God Is Near: Trusting Our Faith
As someone who grew up protestant, Southern Baptist to be exact, this book was invaluable when I began learning about Catholicism (initially just an informal "checking it out," I was visiting and checking out a lot of churches then) and answered many questions I had before then as well as since.
