In this entertaining and informative guide, a former non-practicing Catholic who later became a passionate Catholic mother, shares light-hearted guidance for other Catholic parents who aspire to nurture their own faith and pass on what they have learned to their children. Denise Barnes offers a fresh, down-to-earth approach to growing Catholic children while sharing entertaining anecdotes that chronicle her nearly twenty-year spiritual journey. Barnes leads others on a step-by-step plan by asking such insightful and witty questions as "Are you a Chicken or a Pig?" and "Carrots or Potato Chips?" Included are creative observations that offer Barnes' unique perspective on the "Father, Son, and Holy Syrup" and "Broccoli, Shrimp, and the Rosary"-all in an effort to uphold her baptismal call to share the good news of Christ and the wonders of the Catholic faith. Bringing up Catholic children in the world today takes courage, commitment, and a great deal of practice. Growing Catholics: A Journey from Cradle to Catholic invites parents, parents-to-be, teachers, and role models to share in one mother's conversion while accepting her challenge to embark on their own journey to become a growing Catholic.

In Prisms of Faith, a diverse and distinguished group of scholars approach the theme of religious education and Catholic identity from their respective disciplinary perspectives, offering compelling insights of interest to scholars, catechists, and the general reader alike. The first three chapters are more historical in nature, offering targeted studies that focus on the Apostolic Fathers as a resource in the formation of faithful Catholics, the preaching of St. Augustine, and religious education in modern Poland. The last four chapters have a more contemporary focus, approaching current initiatives and challenges in the formation of faithful Catholics. Issues under consideration include the rights and obligations enshrined in the 1983 Code of Canon Law, the catechetical dimension of liturgy, current obstacles and opportunities in the moral formation of Catholics, and a comparative analysis of three dominant approaches to Catholic religious education. Taken together, these seven chapters form a coherent whole, illustrating well the perennial importance of Catholic religious education, the various resources and methods employed in this work, and the stubborn challenges that effective formation entails.

Born Catholic. Raised Catholic. Americans across generations have used these phrases to describe their formative days, but the experience of growing up Catholic in the United States has changed over the last several decades. While the creed and the sacraments remain the same, the context for learning the faith has transformed. As a result of demographic shifts and theological developments, children face a different set of circumstances today from what they encountered during the mid-twentieth-century. Through a close study of autobiographical and fictional texts that depict the experience, Ingrained Habits explores the intimate details of everyday life for children growing up Catholic during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. These literary portrayals present upbringings characterized by an all-encompassing encounter with religion. The adult authors of such writings run the gamut from vowed priests to unwavering atheists and their depictions range from glowing nostalgia to deep-seated resentment; however, they curiously describe similar experiences from their childhood days in the Church.
