The sacraments are privileged moments of God's grace in the Christian community. Celebrating Sacraments is designed to help tenth graders cultivate awareness of the sacraments in order to grow in their love of life and their faith in God. This third edition of the text includes revisions that give teens a greater understanding of the seven sacraments as extensions of Christ's ministry to the world. The one-semester course also helps students participate in the sacraments with an appreciation of the rituals. This full-color third edition features over 70 student photos and artworks. Prayers and stories draw students in, and review questions and reflection activities in the text margins help students apply the material to their lives.

Edited by award-winning author Stephanie Weller Hanson, the ten short stories for young adults in the collection Mountains of the Moon: Stories About Social Justice put flesh and blood on issues of justice and offer in-depth material for discussion about the meaning and practice of Christian justice. This companion Leader's Guide contains: * suggestions for how to use the stories with young people * background themes and metaphors * questions that help students explore the story and their own experience * cross references to themes covered in the high school religion textbook Christian Justice: Sharing God's Goodness
