I gave it to all of my catechists last year and used the Guide so much that I had to order new copies for myself when I put the order in for this year's catechists. How exciting to be able to give the returning catechists Well-built Faith. I can't wait for the guide! I loved Catechist’s Toolbox!

I love the fact that your parents enjoyed the book so much! And of course I hope your catechists enjoy it as much as well. Yes, a Leader Guide is soon to be available as well!

They asked to borrow it so they could read it even joking that when I place the order for copies for my catechists that I should order them each a copy so they didn't have to share. I found the chapters thought provoking while being very accessable. (my favorite chapter was the one on the trininty) I love that in simplifying you didn't remove the beauty and mystery of our faith. I love that this book is so accessible and perfect for catechists who already have busy lives... So many of the catechists in our parish are constantly on the run. they 're working parents trying to balance home work and the love of their faith. I could see some of them picking this up and reading a chapter in car line or at home before bed and feeling like they can get real faith enrichment even though they can't always make it to diocesan workshops etc. I hope it might even create for some a longing to come to know our faith more deeply. Thanks! Peace Maura P.S. Any plans to do a study guide like you did for the Catechist tool box? Joe,
