Our Holy Faith Vol 1: Good Shepherd

Published by TAN Books

Overview

Give your child a solid foundation in the Faith with the acclaimed Our Holy Faith series of religion textbooks for grades 1–8. Long trusted by families seeking orthodox Catholic formation, these newly re-typeset TAN Books editions have been carefully revised with modernized language and updates reflecting current Church practice. Expanded explanations of core teachings, along with quotations from Sacred Scripture, the saints, and the Catechism, help young learners encounter the truths of the Faith with clarity and confidence.

Catechesis must form both the mind and the heart. The Our Holy Faith series engages children spiritually as well as intellectually through “For Me to Do” activities that encourage real application and growth in virtue. Traditional prayers drawn from faithful Catholic sources are integrated into each lesson so that children begin building habits of prayer from the earliest years.

Book 1, Good Shepherd, introduces students to the fundamental truths of the Faith in an engaging picture book format featuring all new illustrations. Children learn about the Church, God the Father, the Lord’s Prayer, the life of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and Our Blessed Mother. Basic prayers every child should know and simplified catechism lessons prepare students for deeper study in the later books of the series.

• Introduce foundational Catholic truths in a picture book format
