Totally Catholic!: a Catechism for Kids and Their Parents and Teachers Mary Kathleen Glavich

Our Catholic Faith: Know it! Live it! Love it!

In this comprehensive resource for faith formation, children ages 9-12 and the grown-ups in their lives are provided with child-appropriate, helpful, and theologically-correct language to explain the faith...from A to Z! Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, or catechist, this guidebook of all things totally Catholic offers you an exciting way to share and pass on the faith!

Drawing from the Catechism of the Catholic Church and using 'hip' terminology and acronyms such as "BTW" and "VIP," content is presented in a way that reaches out to young people-and even to adults looking for an accessible window into the faith. Analogies illuminate difficult concepts, bolded key terms are defined, and a pronunciation aid accompanies more advanced language. Clip art style illustrations and call-out boxes present the faith in a fun way.

Containing extensive information on what Catholics believe and how they live as members within the community of believers, this manual not only equips you with knowledge of the faith, but also encourages you to engage in it. Each chapter is framed in the form of a question and contains the following sections:

- Brainstorm: prompts to connect the faith to everyday life

- Scripture Link: a story from Scripture that reinforces the faith

- BTW: supplemental tidbits of information

- Did You Know?: interesting, quick facts

"In Totally Catholic! Sr. Mary Kathleen Glavich covers the tenets of the faith with an engaging writing style...and touches the mind, heart, and will."
