THE GODPARENT BOOKIdeas and Activities for Godparents and their Godchildren

Elaine Ramshaw, Illustrated by Mikela Smith

All godparents hope to form a bond with their godchild, but following through as a life-long, faith-sharing companion to a child can seem like an overwhelming challenge� How does one begin to relate to children at all their ages? And how exactly does one share faith with a child?

In The Godparent Book, Elaine Ramshaw is encouraging, reassuring, energizing, and resourceful� Building on the idea that godparent and god-child are two Christians discovering together what it means to be bap-tized, she provides ideas for relating at every age and in many circumstances —ideas that are appropriate for all the churches that call for godparents� Godparents will find advice that serves well when the godchild is a baby, toddler, teen, or young adult�

The content of the classic first edition of this book has been updated in the light of new technology, and artist Mikela Smith has given the revised edition a fresh look�

THE LITURGYThe Source and Summit of Our Christian Life

Corinna Laughlin

Participating in the liturgy—the Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, the sac-ramental rites, blessings, and other official rites—is the most important act of Catholic Christians, for it is through the liturgy that the faithful give praise to God, thank him for his blessings, and go forth strengthened and challenged to live as Christ’s disciples in the world� This easy-to-read resource explores what it means to call liturgy “source and summit�” It will help the Catholic faithful to understand the meaning of the liturgy and its importance to our life of faith, experience Christ’s four fold presence in the various Church rites, come to a deeper relationship with God, and reflect on the transforming power of the liturgy to change the world�

SIGNS AND SYMBOLS OF THE LITURGYAn Experience of Ritual and Catechesis

Michael Ruzicki, Victoria M. Tufano, D. Todd Williamson, and Terry Navarro

Give groups in your parish a reverent and interactive experience of the symbols of the liturgy� The symbols—common things of nature and human craft—such as water, candlelight, oil, book, and cross, are the very language through which we encounter the mysteries of our faith, and they cannot be understood through words alone�

Signs and Symbols of the Liturgy will help parishes break open the signs and symbols of the liturgy in their most basic forms� It explains how to prepare a ritual and catechetical experience of the signs and symbols in which participants can interact with the symbols as they are presented, one by one� Great for catechists and liturgists to use with Christian initia-tion groups, sacramental preparation sessions, adult formation programs, youth group meetings, and retreats for liturgical ministers�
