"With An Evangelizing Catechesis, James Pauley ... reveals the essential link for catechists between who we are and what we teach. ... In these pages, we encounter what we ourselves are challenged to do: boldly proclaim the Gospel with tenderness, patience, knowledge, and zeal." -- Leonard J. DeLorenzo, PhD, University of Notre Dame, author of A God Who Questions
The catechist is vitally important when it comes to teaching the Faith. No book, no program, no text, no training can replace the teacher.

In An Evangelizing Catechesis: Teaching from Your Encounter with Christ, author and speaker James C.

This is what will bring about lasting fruit in your catechesis.
