Meeting Jesus in the Sacraments
Meeting Jesus in the Sacraments roots the sacraments as the definitive way Jesus
remains present to the Church and the world today and expresses concrete ways
for understanding the sacraments, participating in their rites, and benefiting from
their graces. The text is organized around the traditional definition of sacrament
from the Catechism of the Catholic Church—an efficacious sign of grace, instituted
by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us by
the work of the Holy Spirit. In the explanation of each of the seven sacraments,
this definition is clarified by organizing the chapters around four dimensions of
the sacrament: memorial, celebration, communion, and transformation. Each of
these elements offers the opportunity for students to further their relationships
with Christ and the Church.
Through regular placement of “For Reflection” panels and assignments that focus
on deeper research, developing a personal and communal prayer life, and active
transformation of self and society, this text allows students to come to know Jesus
through participation in the sacraments and the grace of their effects. Selections
from Catholic blogs and profiles of saints offer a practical application of each sac-
rament to students.

The Catholic Spirit
An Anthology for Discovering Faith Through
Literature, Art, Film, and Music
Michel Bettigole, O.S.F., and James D. Childs
Pope John Paul II pointed out that it is through the arts that religious truths are made tan-
gible “making perceptible . . . the world of the spirit, of the invisible, of God.”
The Catholic Spirit: An Anthology for Discovering Faith Through Literature, Art, Film, and
Music takes up this charge and presents the truths of Catholicism in the context of the
arts: great artwork, literature, music, and Church writings. The Catholic Spirit sends teens
on a journey using classical works like Flannery O’Connor’s Parker’s Back, Gerard Manley
Hopkins’ God’s Grandeur, Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam,” and Gregorian chants,
along with contemporary classics like A Woman’s Prayer by Dorothy Day and films like Cool
Hand Luke and On the Waterfront.
Organized around chapters that follow the structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
the text includes primary source material from varying periods of Church history with con-
textual and background text to help students understand their significance.
Several additional research opportunities are included to further the students’ study of the
key teachings of the Church through reading, viewing, and listening to classical period pieces.

OVERVIEW OF THE FAITH
Catholic Essentials is the FIRST Handbook
of Faith written to the new curriculum framework!
Catholic Essentials
An Overview of the Faith
Michael Amodei
Catholic Essentials: An Overview of the Faith is a source of knowledge about Jesus,
the Holy Trinity, the Catholic Church, the Sacraments, and ways those who believe
in Jesus live out their faith. Organized around the U.S. Bishops’ High School
Curriculum Framework, this book is an essential resource to accompany a full study
of Jesus Christ. Catholic Essentials provides an in-depth overview and synthesis of the
eight courses of a high school theology curriculum making it perfect as a companion
for the students’ four years of high school or as a primary text for an introductory or
review course. It can also easily be used in a parish youth ministry program.
The text follows each course outline of the new curriculum framework. Each
required course is covered by a complete chapter; each elective course is summarized
in the appendix section. Several essential prayers, glossary terms, and the frequently
asked questions named in the framework are included in the text.

MORALITY
NEW
The Ten Commandments
Case Studies in Catholic Morality
Eileen P. Flynn
The Ten Commandments: Case Studies in Catholic Morality is a single source that summa-
rizes Catholic teaching around the Ten Commandments. Thirty case studies related to real-
life issues and dilemmas addressed by each commandment make up the heart of this text.
It reminds students of the central importance of the Ten Commandments as a source for
moral decision-making along with contemporary ways the commandments can be applied
in their own lives.
The text addresses everyday moral issues faced by teens, such as cheating on exams, using
alcohol and drugs, sex before marriage—along with wider and new societal issues including
the use of embryonic stem cells for medical research, responsibility for environmental prob-
lems, and the proper use of money.
The Ten Commandments: Case Studies in Catholic Morality is intended as an ancillary
resource for students to accompany their study of Catholic morality. The text is also a help-
ful partner to any theology class to help students review current applications of the Ten
Commandments. The book is also applicable as a resource for teens participating in a high
school youth ministry program.
REVISED
Your Life in Christ
Foundations of Catholic Morality
Michael Pennock
Your Life in Christ: Foundations of Catholic Morality focuses on the essential message
of Christ’s moral teaching, the importance of love of God and love of neighbor, and
presents it in a way that is clear and applicable to the lives of today’s teenagers. The
text covers the major points of the “Life in Christ” section of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. It pulls together these elements by developing nine essential steps
for living a Christian moral life in the Catholic tradition.
This revised edition builds on the solid and thorough presentation of Catholic
moral teaching from its best-selling earlier edition.

NEW TESTAMENT / CHRISTOLOGY
Our Best-Selling Textbook Just Got Better!
REVISED!
Encountering Jesus
in the New Testament
Michael Pennock
“Who is Jesus of Nazareth?”
“Who is the person people of faith call ‘Christ, the Son of God?’”
These questions form the central focus of Encountering Jesus in the New Testament.
The text is intended to provide a scriptural and ecclesial foundation to answer the
question of why Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. It explores how
the New Testament offers evidence and faith testimony to the Life, Death, and
Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It encourages students’ growth in a personal and
ecclesial relationship with Christ through an in-depth presentation of Jesus’ histori-
cal, cultural, and religious background. Encountering Jesus in the New Testament
successfully combines Christology—a complete study of the person and divinity of
Jesus Christ with an overview of the books of the New Testament.
The content and detail in Encountering Jesus in the New Testament is unparalleled for
introductory high school Scripture courses and offers support for the introductory
courses of the new high school curriculum framework approved by the U.S. Bishops.

Living What We Believe
Michael Pennock
Our Catholic Faith: Living What We Believe, written as an introduction to Catholicism, provides an over-
view of the faith using basic principles and teachings contained in the four pillars of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church. It offers an in-depth resource for building religious literacy and provides a synthesis
of the Catholic faith as outlined in the Catechism. The text challenges students to accept Jesus, commit
themselves to him through the Church, and to live lives of loving service.

Sex and the Teenager
Choices and Decisions
Kieran Sawyer, S.S.N.D
Designed for use in a classroom, youth group, or retreat setting, the Sex and the Teenager:
Choices and Decisions program allows students to feel comfortable talking about and reflect-
ing on sensitive questions connected with their sexual maturing. Rooted in Judeo-Christian
and Catholic Church moral teaching, the program has a clear, straightforward goal: to
encourage teens to make their own decisions to say “NO” to premarital sexual activity.
The program deals with a variety of topics including: what to do on a date; how to tell the
difference between love, infatuation, and exploitation; the risks of teenage sexual activity
with or without contraceptives; the necessity of setting personal moral limits and sticking
to them; and many more important topics. Sex and the Teenager: Choices and Decisions also
helps teenagers become aware of the many difficult decisions they would have should an
unplanned pregnancy occur.
Includes discussion and plans of action for dealing with some of the recent challenges in the
area of sexual activity now faced by teens, including practices of “hooking up” with a part-
ner with little if any emotional investment and the increase in oral sexual activity.
