What Do I Do Now?
A Guide for the Reluctant Catechist
By Dan
Pierson and Susan Stark
Here's a lighthearted but very
serious companion for those
catechists who feel that same
reluctant tug the disciples felt
when they were sent out, two by two,
to spread the Good News of God's
Kingdom. What Do I Do Now? is
filled with simple and clear advice
for catechists: answer to pressing
questions, short reflections to
build confidence in handing on the
Catholic Faith, and oodles of
resources to help catechists in
their own formation.

Called to Be a Catechist
Your Practical Guide
The
new National Directory for
Catechesis encourages the solid
and continuing formation of
catechists: "Since effective
catechesis depends on virtuous and
skilled catechists, their ongoing
formation should enhance the human,
spiritual, and apostolic qualities
and catechetical skills they bring
to their ministry" (page 238).
This just-revised little book
provides an important part of that
formation. As a practical
guide, it sets up
− in five short chapters − what a
catechist needs to know about his or
her mission, about growth in a
catechetical spirit, about knowing
the Faith, about understanding the
students, about keeping learning
active and engaging, and about
developing good catechetical habits.
Called to Be a Catechist also
provides a quick-reference glossary
that is culled from the Catechism of
the Catholic Church. This Guide
makes a great gift for all the
catechists in the parishboth the
new and seasoned ones.
