The Bible Tells Me So

By Christian Leblanc and Christian Leblanc

Book Overview

30 Lessons. 2 Testaments. 1 Mass. If you are a middle-school catechist or homeschooler looking for tried-and-tested ways to use the Bible to teach the Catholic faith to a roomful of tired kids, this is the book for you. The Bible Tells Me So recounts one year of Bible-based Catholic teaching for 6th-graders, featuring both Bible-sourced Catechesis, and the give-and-take between teacher and students. It's intended to provide a firm Scriptural foundation for today's Catholic children, and give them an invaluable familiarity with the Bible and their faith at the same time. The Bible Tells Me So is divided into three Units: 1 and 2 treat the Bible chronologically from Genesis to Revelations, emphasizing the Catholic understanding of Scripture. These classes are taught directly from the Bible. Unit 3 then examines the Mass in lessons which draw from the knowledge gained in the preceding units, using the Bible and a Missalette. Prepare young Catholics for the New Evangelization: read The Bible Tells Me So. Imprimatur granted by the Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston, SC. My book is not eligible for review by the USCCB.

He makes it exciting. He also provides a masterful explanation of the Mass in the last section of the book. Mr. LeBlanc has a gift for language, and has an intriguing way of inviting students into bits of Hebrew and Greek without being at all heady or intimidating...I would readily recommend the book to catechists."Sister Pamela Smith, SS.C.M., Director of Catechesis and Christian Initiation, Diocese of Charleston, S.C.
