5.0 out of 5 stars Father Mcbride's Teen Catechism: Based on the Catechism of t, February 9, 2000

This review is from: Father McBride's Teen Catechism (Paperback)

I am the Director of Religious Education for a Military Chapel and was looking for a good study program for my post confirmation class when I stumbled upon this book. It answers all of the questions that teens have asked our own parish Priest. It answers them precisely and in such a way that it makes the teens learn whether they want to or not. I highly recommend it for new teacher CCD teachers as well as established CCD teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thomism for Teens, September 26, 2002

This review is from: Father McBride's Teen Catechism (Paperback)

Fr. Alfred McBride has written a stellar catechism for teens based on the first edition of the Universal Catechism, published in 1994. It is very effective in its style. Offering a wide group of quotations from saints and prominent Catholics of the past, Fr. McBride gives the reader a connection to the history of his faith and helps him to recognize his membership in the communion of saints. Also, in style, the book smells of scholastic argumentation. A problem or inadequate explanation of an article of faith is posed, then the question is answered by the Catechism, and then the problem is addressed directly. A wonderful tool.

This review is from: Father McBride's Teen Catechism (Paperback)

I agree that this is designed with teens in mind, but also with adults who may be hesitant to pick up the thicker volume of the most recent Catechism. This is real life, with real life examples of partial truths being clarified by precise, yet down to earth answers and quotes. We love this book and recommend it for after Confirmation, along with Theology of the Body and for Post RCIA or for an ongoing adult education. Don't let the title "for Teens" mislead you. This is a catechism like no other and a small, quick to read, hard to put down little book. There's a helpful teacher's manual as well and NO, you don't have to add other sources to the program but it's always a good idea to have prayer and praise during one's class. Speaking of which, each section has a prayer and saint's life highlighted as well. This is a priceless little book and would make an excellent Confirmation gift, too!
