Glad to have this in my home
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Jim Merhaut's "Your Catholic Family" has been described as "encyclopedic" and I would concur with that description. The book is truly a wonderful resource for Catholic families looking to live out the faith in their homes. Divided into four sections which parallel the themes of the Catechism, Merhaut's book provides point by point learning objectives and activities. The book's activities are wide ranging in nature and will appeal to a broad cross-section of ages. At the conclusion of the book, a brief appendix for DREs is included. I look forward to implementing this book in my own home.
Comprehensive and Practical
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Author Jim Merhaut has five children, holds a master's degree in religious education, and directs a parish religious ed program, all experiences that shine through in this comprehensive, practical resource. In the introduction and throughout the text Merhaut offers ideas for engaging children and promoting a general Catholic atmosphere within the home. The content is divided into four main parts dealing with scripture and tradition, liturgy and sacraments, Christian morality, and prayer. The parts are broken into subsections, each with a general introduction and several topics that include learning objectives and activities. A list of activities organized by category (younger and older children, parents, and family) is provided, as is an appendix for catechetical leaders and a bibliography.
Great buy

I love this book, and it's a must-have for any Catholic family. It's also a wonderful resource for religious educators, as well as lay people. The book provides great insight into how to incoporate the faith into your daily life.
