  • Description: "If the goal of catechesis is to cultivate an encounter with Christ, why do religious educators spend so much time focused almost exclusively on ideas and not experiences? The reason is that many have never been shown a method that inspires the heart while also instructing the mind.

This can lead not only to personal confusion but—increasingly in our day—conflict and disagreement among Catholics. In Teaching with Authority, Jimmy Akin shows you how to get it all straight." ...
