A must read

A must read for anyone interested in the CGS program. It provides both a nice overview of the philosophy of the program and describes the nuts and bolts of presenting some of the major concepts. Not a how-to manual by any means.

Wonderful guide for CGS

I am currently using this book as part of my studies while I am in the training for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. It is as well organized as it can be, being that everything in the program is SO inter-connected. Others who have read this book with no previous experience with the Catechesis are provided with a wonderful insight and some background information. I highly recommend this book and the program itself!

A Great Book for Parents & Grandparents

This is a WONDERFUL book. I'm a Sunday School teacher, and I reccomend this book to both parents and grandparents who ask about things they can do in the home to support the faith of their children. The book provides background on the spiritual life of young children, and examples of things that can be done and how to do them - family rituals, children's prayer spaces, etc. It's a great resource and an inspiring read.

The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey

This book was an excellent help to me in planning how I can introduce the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd to my religious education class. It is simple to follow and easily explained. I bought a second copy to give to my daughter to use with her daughters ages 3 and 5 to introduce them to the wonder and beauty of the Good Shepherd and the Mass. All around our parish I have been recommending it to parents of preschoolers to help them bring the children into the celebration of Mass but also to help them educate their little ones using the parables of Jesus.
