Book Description
In this short but comprehensive guide, Father Gabriel describes in clear terms the means and methods of mental prayer. Set out in question-and-answer format, the Little Catechism of Prayer is an invaluable work for those seeking to enter more deeply into a life of prayer and loving communion with God. Mental prayer is indispensable to the spiritual life; normally it is, so to speak, its very breath. However, this spontaneity in prayer is usually realized only if the soul applies itself to meditation for some time by its own personal effort. In other words, one must learn how to pray. It is to teach souls this devout practice that various meditation books have been published. There are many methods, each with its own merit; among them is the Teresian method, so called because it is based on the teachings of St. Teresa of Jesus, the Foundress of the Discalced Carmelites and the great mistress of the spiritual life. . . . We outlined this method in a pamphlet called the Little Catechism of Prayer.... It is a simple exposition of the Teresian method according to the writings of many Carmelite authors; its widespread circulation shows very clearly that this method answers the needs and the desires of many prayerful souls. Father Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, Preface to Divine Intimacy (1963).

Book Description
This attractive and thorough little Catechism teaches children the beauty of the Catholic Faith by answering fundamental questions in easy-to-understand language. Centered on the profession of faith in the Apostles Creed, explanations are accompanied by Bible verses, prayers, and calls to action designed to help a child's faith develop into a vibrant, dynamic way of life. After each lesson there is a nice little summary Bible verse, a one sentence "We Believe" on the truth taught in the lesson, a "Put into Practice" sample of how to live the lesson, a short "Prayer," and a couple short questions to "Test Yourself." A catechism makes the Word of God ring within us to change our lives. The Word of God is no ordinary word. Saint John tells us that Jesus is the Word, which means the Word in person! Everything that God has to say to us, he says by giving us his Son, Jesus. This catechism helps us learn more about Jesus so that we can know him, follow him, and keep him always in our hearts.

Book Description
Catechesis is an ancient practice of Christian disciple making that uses a simple question-and-answer format to instruct new believers and church members in the core beliefs of Christianity. To Be a Christian, by J. I. Packer and a team of other Anglican leaders, was written to renew this oft-forgotten tradition for today’s Christians. With over 360 questions and answers, plus Scripture references to support each teaching, this catechism covers the full range of Christian doctrine and life, drawing from the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and other important doctrinal summaries. Clear, concise, and conversational, this resource was written for all believers who seek to be grounded more deeply in the truth of God’s Word.
