A USER-FRIENDLY GUIDE TO SHARING THE FAITH WITH CHILDREN
Written by Julianne Stanz, bestselling author, catechist, lay church leader, and mother of three, The Catholic Parents’ Survival Guide is a practical manual for talking with children about the things that really matter. Featuring an accessible question-and-answer format, Julianne not only equips readers with tools to help explain Catholic beliefs, ethics, morality, and faith practices, but she also prepares us for how to deliver this information in a manner that will resonate with children. She addresses such questions as Who is God? Who is the Holy Spirit? What happens if you miss Mass? Do people who die become angels?
Does God answer prayers? What will we do in heaven? Do Catholics pray to Mary? Why can’t women become priests?
In addition, each chapter includes key takeaways, notes for reflection, recommended resources, and tips for putting these insights into practice. The Catholic Parents’ Survival Guide provides reliable information about the Catholic faith and parent-tested methods for sharing it with children. JULIANNE STANZ is the author of Braving the Thin Places, Start with Jesus, and Developing Disciples of Christ. She writes a monthly column for The Compass newspaper called “A Space for Grace” and blogs for The Catechist’s Journey, a blog for catechists published by Loyola Press.
