Joe Paprocki, best-selling author of The Catechist’s Toolbox series, has written the first, step-by-step book that demonstrates how to teach a 75-minute catechetical session with practical techniques that expand upon the textbook to create a more prayerful climate in the classroom.

Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox enables young people to personally encounter Jesus in prayer, rather than just read about him, in order to become lifelong disciples of Christ.
