Great tool for faith sharing

I am using this on a weekly basis for adult formation. One complaint --- there are some typos in the references to the US Catholic Catechism book.

Teach and Preach Like the Early Church Fathers

Ken Ogorek has written an innovative catechism. Actually, it's a retrieval. Ken has reached back to the early Church Fathers' method of teaching by following the lectionary -- the cycle of Old and New Testament readings that are used in the liturgy. This book is a great resource for clergy and catechists. There are more than 400 pages of ready material for homilies and lesson plans that are biblical, doctrinal, and relevant. The Gospel Truth comes with a foreword by Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington and hearty recommendations from Ronda Chervin and Bishop Richard Malone of Portland, Maine. Pastors, listen up: One priest bought two thousand copies so that he could give The Gospel Truth to each and every household in his parish. It's a great way to do adult education. You get all the families going in the same direction, steered by the liturgy.
