In this beautifully illustrated and photographed book, best-selling author Msgr. Joseph Champlin explores the major teachings and observances of the Catholic tradition: history, worship, prayer, sacraments, faith, moral issues, community and more. Each of the 12 chapters opens with a true story that highlights a common challenge of everyday life. Using these incidents as a springboard, Msgr. Champlin shows how the Scriptures, the Mass and the Sacraments, and the resources and guidance of the Church help us to live a fulfilling, grace-filled life.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent RCIA Resource,
By A Reader "CD" (Orange, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What It Means to Be Catholic (Paperback)
Fr. Champlin provides an excellent "beginners" overview of the important aspects of Catholic faith. While this is not intended to be a theology text book and does not address any issue in depth, our parish has found it to be the perfect resource for persons in the Pre-Catechumenate stage of Christian Initiation. The colorful illustrations and very readable text are attractive and inviting. The articles lend themselves well to discussion questions that draw on the life experience of the participants. It provides the Inquirers enough background to introduce them to the church and stimulate questions without overwhelming those without previous instruction with excessive theological jargon. For use in the Pre-Catechumenate - this book is PERFECT.

Excellant material for Pre-Catechumenate,
By TimERiley@aol.com (Appleton, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What It Means to Be Catholic (Paperback)
Excellant material for the Pre-Catechumenate phase of RCIA. Just enough information to provide the "overview" encouraged by the Rite.
