Does the Bible have any relevance to children and adolescents in a world of sms and lightning emails? The timelessness of Bible stories transforms, empowers and touches lives if presented in the right way. The cardinal rules are: keep it simple; find interesting stories; grab the moment; leave a lasting impression. The presentation includes practical activities which bring it alive.
Catechesis can sometimes seem as if it is taking place in a vacuum, but it is possible to foster a sense of belonging among even the most reluctant parents – the presentation reveals the transforming potential of using the liturgical calendar as a unifying force.
Can we allow the Bible and its message ‘to pass into the mists of history’ as Voltaire pledged? Surely not!
