Developing Disciples of Christ: Understanding the Critical Relationship between Catechesis and Evangelization (The Effective Catechetical Leader) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 16 ratings

St. Pope John Paul II reminds us in Catechesi Tradendae that catechesis is a moment—“a very remarkable one—in the whole process of evangelization.” In other words, catechesis is an essential part of evangelization, not something separate from it. Therefore, it is critically important that catechetical leaders recognize how to effectively catechize in a way that advances the Church’s primary mission to evangelize. To that end, this third volume of The Effective Catechetical Leader will explore a Catholic understanding of evangelization grounded in Scripture and Tradition, how the New Evangelization supports and enhances today’s catechesis, the inseparable nature of content and methodology in catechesis, the absolute importance of adult catechesis, and so much more.

The Effective Catechetical Leader series, developed in conjunction with the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership and written by some of the top catechetical leaders in the country, is the only series to encompass all the various aspects of catechetical leadership. This series provides the practical skills, strategies, and approaches that ensure successful parish faith formation in an evangelizing manner, which leads directly to a vibrant Church. From best practices to new approaches for proclaiming God’s word in a rapidly changing world, this groundbreaking series will empower catechetical leaders to excel at everything from administrative duties to effectively catechizing people of all ages within our diverse Church.

    Excellent book by a woman who really knows her topic. I highly recommend this book. Julianne guides you through the relationship between being a cathechetist and an evangelizer, and good advice on how to help your parish grow in faith formation. This author has written another book with Joe Paproki and I also recommend that book. She doesn't just talk about evangelization, she gets out and evangelizes! She is a true example of a disciple who talks the talk and walks the walk. Her love of Jesus and her desire to share Him with the world is clear.

    Julianne Stanz has created a book that is relevant and exciting and will inspire you to catechize the faith through the lens of discipleship! This book should be in the hands of everyone who teaches the faith!
