Synopsis

Joe Paprocki, best-selling author of The Catechist's Toolbox, has written the first step-by-step book that demonstrates how you can teach a 75-minute catechetical session with practical techniques that expand upon the textbook to create a more prayerful and experiential climate in the classroom.

While textbooks are an essential tool for catechists to present the teachings of the Catholic Church in a clear and accurate manner, Beyond the Catechist's Toolbox gives you the framework to guide your students toward personal transformation. By using Catholic rituals, prayers, and the Liturgy of the Word, Paprocki provides suggestions on how to get catechesis to resemble Mass more than class.

Reading a textbook can help children know about God, and Beyond the Catechist's Toolbox helps them know God personally as they prayerfully become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
