Description
A Journey through the Catechism: Unveiling the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness of the Catholic Faith is the comprehensive resource for Catholics who want to be better informed about their faith.
Building on Michael Pennock’s longtime bestseller This Is Our Faith: A Catholic Catechism for Adults, this companion to the Catechism of the Catholic Church retains the favorite question-and-answer format combined with Fr. Daniel J. Mahan’s pastoral and open-minded approach. Fr. Mahan, director of the USCCB’s new Institute on the Catechism, provides concrete answers to questions about God, faith, and the Catholic Church that many people wonder about. He does not shy away from the more challenging questions; when an answer seems difficult, he offers practical advice with compassion and encouragement.
Organized around the four pillars of the Catechism—creed, sacraments, Christian life, and prayer—A Journey through the Catechism uses personal reflections, sound reasoning, and practical examples in a question-and-answer format to teach how Catholics:
- profess their faith
- worship
- live their lives in society
- pray
“You were born for much more than you can imagine. You are meant for God. You are meant to live with God and enjoy great happiness,” says Fr. Mahan. “By picking up this book, you have taken the first step to discover or deepen your connection to God and to delve more deeply into the great mystery of your relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. This book is intended to guide you along this journey. Be assured as you read this book that you are loved by God and God has a plan for you.”
Accompanied by enriching videos featuring Fr. Mahan as well as captivating pull-out features including maps, photo essays, and graphic organizers, this book offers an immersive learning experience. Furthermore, a free, online comprehensive guide to the Lectionary connects questions from the book to themes in the Sunday readings for all three cycles and holy days, making it a perfect resource for homilists. Also included in the Lectionary guide are discussion questions that connect the themes of the Sunday readings to topics in the book, making them ideal for discussion at both Sunday dismissal sessions and further catechetical sessions during the week.
Whether you’re a new convert, returning to the faith, or a seasoned Catholic, A Journey through the Catechism will lead you to discover the truth, beauty, and goodness that lie at the heart of Catholicism.
