  1. Joe, your books and your resourcefulness helps a lot,in digging facts and new ideas in catechism and evangelization ministry.

  2. Joe,

    I have told you via e-mail before how much I have appreciated your books, Bible Blueprint and Catechists Toolbox. I am using both and people are really “digging” them (stayed with the construction analogy). Just received Well Built Faith and am thinking of it as a gift to RCIA participants at the beginning of the year.

    Have to say again, Bible Blueprint has become my go to resource for people who don’t know much about the Bible but want to start reading and learning and growing. Really gives them a reliable Catholic guide to the Bible and sets it in it’s proper context. It is the book I would write if I could write as well as you and had 25 years experience as a DRE , instead of just 2. You have saved me a lot of work. Thank you!

    • Mike, your feedback means a lot to me and is very affirming. I know the challenges that DREs face and I’m happy that I can provide some resources to assist you in your endeavors. Keep up the great work!

  3. HI Joe,
    Have you thought about or do you have a plan of how you will introduce the new Roman Missal and Mass changes to your 4th graders..or elementary young people?
    Thanks.

    • Hi Barb. That’s next on my agenda. I’m planning to gather a few local DREs together and brainstorm effective ways to present the changes to various age groups. Stay tuned! 🙂

  4. Hi Joe,
    Will you be selling a DVD version of your webinar? It would provide a good basis for an adult class on the New Roman Missal for the parish. We do not have the technology to show online things to a group. Thanks.
