Joseph D. White, Ph.D.

All the information you need to be a first-rate catechist.

Catechesis is one of the most important jobs you can take on. Fortunately, you don't need a doctorate in theology. What you do need is a thorough grounding in the Catholic Faith which is exactly what you'll get from this book. Here's a thorough, concise, and easy- to- understand summary of the Faith . It follows the six tasks of teaching outlined in the General Directory for Catechesis: doctrine, liturgy, morality, prayer, missionary initiation, and community life. Giving you just what on need to know, it also tells you where you can look in Scripture and the Catechisim of the Catholic Church for more detailed information. And you'll find helpful questions for reflection that will get good group discussions going.

If you're just starting in the teaching ministry, this is the guide you need to lead successful classes.
