Christ Alive in Us (Complete Set)

Formed in Christ Series · Published by TAN Books

Overview

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus Christ? How can Christians navigate moral challenges while remaining faithful disciples? Christ Alive in Us introduces students to the rich tradition of Catholic moral theology, helping them understand the Christian life as a response to Christ's invitation to holiness and communion with Him.

Part of the Formed in Christ series, this engaging course is rooted in the vision articulated by Pope St. John Paul II in Catechesi Tradendae: that the goal of catechesis is to lead believers into an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Beginning with an examination of the fallen human condition, students explore the reality of sin, temptation, and vice before discovering the transformative power of God's grace and the virtues that enable authentic Christian living.

Through a thoughtful study of the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, conscience formation, the sacraments, and the role of the Church, readers learn how Catholic moral teachings provide practical guidance for everyday life. By understanding the moral life not as a set of restrictions but as a path toward freedom and holiness, students are equipped to live as faithful disciples of Christ in the modern world.

• Understand the Moral Life: Discover the purpose of Catholic moral teaching and Christian discipleship.
• Study Sin and Virtue: Learn how vice harms the soul and how virtue leads to holiness.
• Explore the Ten Commandments: Apply God's moral law to contemporary situations and challenges.
• Examine the Beatitudes: Understand Christ's vision for authentic happiness and human flourishing.
• Form a Well-Grounded Conscience: Learn how the Church helps believers make moral decisions in accordance with truth.

From Pope St. John Paul II

“The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch but in communion, in intimacy, with Jesus Christ.”
— Catechesi Tradendae
