My Path to Heaven
An old-fashioned "retreat-in-a-book"
...to help your children ponder the truths of the Faith, and live lives of holiness in accordance with those truths.
Based on the traditional St. Ignatius Retreat (trusted by Catholics for centuries) and adapted for children this clear, simple, thoughtful presentation of the Faith is invaluable for parents seeking to form their children in holiness.
My Path to Heaven covers such essentials of the Faith as God's will, angels, Heaven and Hell, the Fall of Man, the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation, the Nativity, the Passion, salvation, the sacraments, faith, hope, love and contrition - what's more, it teaches children the relevance of these truths in their lives and in the decisions they make!
Among the Topics:
-
Three ways to help your child make good choices
-
Christ's plan to train children to follow Him
-
God's generosity: why He deserves all our love
-
Heaven: why now is to time to begin seeking it
This remarkable book is:
Practical: it focuses on proper devotion and right action, not feelings
Serious: it acknowledges and speaks to the deep seriousness that attentive parents know lies in the hearts of even the very youngest children
Substantial: it considers central points of the Faith and addresses the issues that face every Christian, even the youngest
Prayerful: because it speaks reverently of holy things, My Path to Heaven inspires children to develop in devotion to Jesus, Mary, and the saint
Scriptural: chapters include numerous scripture references
Captivating: pictures keep the attention of the most restless children, as they discover in them the most exciting details about the Faith
Instructional: chapters conclude with questions to help children review and remember what they've learned, and to help them choose to strive for holinesss
My Path to Heaven is best for children ages 9 to12, but beginning readers and even non-readers can also enjoy the rich illustrations.
