Excellent resource September 3, 2007

Jem Sullivan has written a terrific companion to the new U.S. Adult Catholic Catechism that will be a welcome resource to anyone charged with leading a faith-formation program or discussion group. Each of the catechism's 36 chapters is given a two-page plan for an hour-long session. Included are summaries of doctrinal teachings, reflections, discussion questions, prayers, and excellent suggestions for further reading. And unlike the U.S. Adult Catholic Catechism, the guide contains references to the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Highly recommended.
UPDATE: After spending additional time with this book, I'd probably knock off a star or two. While the format is very good, combining prayer, doctrine, and reflection, far too often the discussion questions are of the navel-gazing variety. A perfect example is found in the chapter on Baptism: "What does Baptism mean to you personally?" Let it suffice to say that the questions would benefit from a more cognitive approach to learning.
Long overdue since Baltimore Catechism June 23, 2009

I am a product of the Pre-Vatican II Baltimore Catechism and the days when our Catholic education ended at Confirmation in our teens. The first and second editions of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church were the best thing that ever happened to enable adults to better understand the Church.
I signed up for an online course concerning the Catechism and was surprised to find that the Church had made culturally specific guides for studying the big Catchism. For my course, though nor required, I also ordered the available study guide. It helps me structure my study of the Adult Catechism for the United States with tips and beautiful references for further reading. This is an outstanding accompaniment to the U.S. Adult Catholic Catechism.

Excellent accompaniment to the U. S. Catholic Catechism for Adults. It highlights and focuses on the most important aspects of the doctrine. I'm using it as a reference source for RCIA students.
This is a perfect small group study February 18, 2008

We use this with the US Catholic Adult Catechism in our Men's Group to really get into the catechism and how to use it with a persons daily life. It is in depth yet is easy to understand and read.
