I’m Just Getting Warmed Up!

Joe Paprocki Books, Catechetical Leaders

Yesterday, I told you about my new book, Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox, which you can pre-order (available February, 2013).

Well, I’m just gettin’ warmed up!!!

I’ve got lots more to tell you about. I’ve been a busy little catechist and writer this year and I’m happy to share with you 2 new resources that I am very proud of and that will help to meet a pressing need in catechesis (catechizing children who are “out of sequence”). If you have any questions, contact Customer Service at Loyola Press at 800-621-1008.
