Books in Journey of a... series

In Journey of Faith for Lent, readers take a closer look at this time of sacrifice, of reconciliation, and of fasting, beyond themselves to see the good in every person. The student workbook includes Scripture readings, reflection questions, and topics to discuss with friends and family members. Open spaces allow for writing thoughts or for drawing images during each season. The leader's guide has several faith sessions, as well as a retreat experience--to help young people enter fully into the expectation and the joy of the season--as well as strategies for encouraging participation in parish liturgical and community life.

We explore the breathtaking beauty of the coral reefs, looking at fishes and other animals of every colour of the rainbow.
