A chance encounter with a stranger, who tells Katelyn that a similar bead saved her friend’s life, launches Katelyn and her family on a quest to find the other missing beads. Their journey, filled with glimmers of hope, mystical events and unexplained grace helps Katelyn understand that faith, family and the help of others can restore what was lost.

It features an invaluable collection of catechetical tips, techniques, methodologies, and advice.The various reflection questions will help the reader to prayerfully reflect upon what they have learnt and to integrate the lessons into their own teaching sessions - whether preparing children for the sacraments or adults for reception into the Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This book is an essential resource for anyone who has a role in handing on the faith to others. It will spur a new appreciation of the opportunities and challenges of catechesis in the Church today.

Joe Paprocki, best-selling author of The Catechist’s Toolbox, has written the first step-by-step book that demonstrates how you can teach a 75-minute catechetical session with practical techniques that expand upon the textbook to create a more prayerful and experiential climate in the classroom. While textbooks are an essential tool for catechists to present the teachings of the Catholic Church in a clear and accurate manner, Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox gives you the framework to guide your students toward personal transformation. By using Catholic rituals, prayers, and the Liturgy of the Word, Paprocki provides suggestions on how to get catechesis to resemble Mass more than class. Reading a textbook can help children know about God, and Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox helps them know God personally as they prayerfully become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
