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 students grasp the richness of Catholic doctrine with clarity and confidence.

The Our Holy Faith series engages students spiritually as well as intellectually through “For Me to Do” activities that foster concrete application of what they learn. Traditional prayers drawn from faithful Catholic sources are included throughout, helping children practice their faith and cultivate habits of devotion.
In Book 4, Bread of Life, students discover how the Church orders the entire year to help the faithful live the truths of the Holy Faith. Through the seasons and feasts of the liturgical year, children learn to relive the life of Christ with their Blessed Redeemer. The text explores the rhythm of the Church’s calendar in both the ordinary and extraordinary forms, showing how sacred time shapes Christian life and worship.

Questions in Chapter Review aren’t answered in the texg
The textbook is beautiful and the content is orthodox. I’d say that the reading level is more challenging and probably is better suited to a 5th grader than a 4th. However, the main problem I have with the book, is that the answers to the chapter review questions are oftentimes not found within the text. For example, in Chapter 10 review question #17 asks, “May a person who has already died receive the Anointing of the Sick?” But nowhere in the chapter does it speak of this. The only time it does is in the very back in the answer key. This occurs throughout both of the Our Holy Faith textbooks (Grades 4 & 6) and is very frustrating for my children and me.

Everything I wanted it to be for our 3rd grader
We have tried a few other religion resource supplements for our homeschooling and this one is rated the best of 3. Both parent and child enjoy the short concise chapters and the discussion questions at the end. This is what religion should be, not full of busywork or dry reading for children. My son looks forward to our faithful reading and conversation about faith. The pictures are beautiful too. A friend compared it to her family resource and said while it was similar, certainly a nicer layout and more beautiful pictures.
