What Jesus Said and Why It Matters Now.
A new book to help team members personalize the Gospel ...
What Jesus Said and Why It Matters Now helps RCIA teams, sponsors, catechumens and candidates personalize the Gospel. It is an ideal resource to help:
  • Team members prepare for and conduct sessions of breaking open the Word
  • Sponsors share their experiences of God touching them with catechumens or candidates they are sponsoring
  • Catechumens and candidates grasp the experience of each Gospel story and live it out in their everyday lives
The book focuses on seven Gospel stories of Lent and Easter that are at the heart of the RCIA experience:
  • Jesus’ temptation in the desert
  • The transfiguration
  • The woman at the well
  • Jesus’ cure of the man born blind
  • The raising of Lazarus from the dead
  • Jesus’ passion
  • The resurrection
It also outlines a method for personalizing the Gospel that can be used with any Gospel story.
