WHAT DO I DO NOW, A GUIDE FOR THE RELUCTANT CATECHIST

128 pages, 5 3/8" x 8 3/8"

Here's a lighthearted but very serious companion for those catechists who feel that same reluctant tug the disciples felt when they were sent out, two by two, to spread the Good News of God's Kingdom. What Do I Do Now? is filled with simple and clear advice for catechists: answer to pressing questions, short reflections to build confidence in handing on the Catholic Faith, and oodles of resources to help catechists in their own formation.

Contents are organized in five "Connections":
- The Catechist Connection
- The Catechist-Lesson Connection
- The Catechist-Student Connection
- The Catechist-Home Connection
- The Catechist-Parish Connection

Additional features include suggested readings, Internet links, "Quick Hits" - short answers to nagging questions - and an annotated bibliography. The book also gives a brief overview of the new National Directory for Catechesis. No catechist, reluctant or otherwise, should be without What Do I Do Now?
