Joe Paprocki Books, Joe's Comings and Goings, Newsworthy, Scripture

I was honored to write a new course for the University of Dayton Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation (VLCFF). It is called Bible Basics and the required text for the course is my book, The Bible Blueprint: A Catholic’s Guide to Understanding and Embracing God’s Word. Thanks to Richard Drabick, the Assistant Director of the Institute for Pastoral Initiatives for inviting me to write the course and to Sr. Angela Ann Zukowski, MHSH, the Director of the Institute for providing me with this opportunity to team with an excellent program. I pray for God’s blessings upon all who participate in this course!
