Book excerpt: Written in accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and rooted in the sound catechetical principles of the National Catechetical Directory, these texts present a well-defined curriculum model that stresses clear objectives, careful organization, and creative methods and evaluation procedures to check the attainment of goals. Very flexible, allowing teachers to select materials to highlight and stress, each text can be implemented on various grade levels for a quarter, a semester, or a full year depending on the length and frequency of class meetings.This text begins with a discussion of the wonders of God's love in such things as creation, the incarnation, forgiveness and salvation, followed by a call to respond to this love through faith and loving service. A chapter on signs, symbols, and sacraments gives a solid foundation for understanding Catholic sacramental theology. This prepares the way for a discussion of each of the seven sacraments that covers the historical developments, the way the sacrament is celebrated today, and the ways students can live the reality of each of the sacraments in their lives.
