Our 15th Anniversary Giveaway: The Catechist’s Backpack

The Catechist's Backpack giveaway in honor of Catechist's Journey anniversary
We continue our year-long celebration of the 15th anniversary of the launch of Catechist’s Journey and publication of The Catechist’s Toolbox. Our celebration continues today with the chance to win a copy of The Catechist’s Backpack: Spiritual Essentials for the Journey.

It is obvious that catechists spend their time guiding children and adults in deepening their Catholic faith, but we have to ask, “Who’s guiding the catechists on their spiritual journey?” While there are many books about what catechists should know and what they should do, there is very little on the spirituality of being a catechist. Julianne Stanz and I wrote The Catechist’s Backpack to give catechists the resources that speak to the spiritual dimension of their call to share the Catholic faith.

Read the official giveaway rules below. Enter by 12:00 a.m. central time on August 25, 2022. Winner will be contacted for address. Open to U.S. mailing addresses only.
