A surpassing love for children, the rare gift of simplicity in
statement, a firm belief in the regeneration of boys and girls, a
passion for their salvation, ability to hold their attention while
teaching them the Word, and many years of experience in developing
her message and method, have given to the author of these Bible
studies a peculiar fitness for preparing them.
"Danny Brock's Catholicity Ain't What It Used to Be is a rich
experience in practical theology, a theology for everyone, because
it is a deeply personal reflection on the faith journey, the story
of his own soul as a Catholic in the post-Vatican II church and in
a very challenging postmodern culture. As Brock outlines the
challenges of the New Evangelization facing teens, the Catholic
school, religious educators, parents, and the institutional church,
he describes vividly the mess we sometimes find ourselves in, and
at the same time he suggests ways of stepping through that mess by
bringing to life the beauty and richness of our Catholic faith and
the joy of serving Jesus as we journey with young people in our
Christian community. Brock's reflections serve as a GPS to help us
recalculate where we find ourselves as church and in our culture
today as the evangelizing community of Jesus. His unique charism in
finding hope in the young persons he serves becomes a great gift of
hope for the pilgrim church today." -Father James Mulligan, CSC,
nationally renowned Catholic educator and author of Catholic
Education: The Future Is Now
"The Mysterious Life of Bea Soshul" is a journey into the heart and
mind of Christ through a little girl, Bea Soshul, who has
Asperger's Syndrome. This title is intended to bolster the autistic
child's confidence in communicating with other school age children.
When Bea meets Henry E. Rowe, a boy in her school, both children
are reminded that God does not make mistakes. The glory of God
shines through the children as they discover who they are in Christ
and what their true mission is in life.
