The Faith and Life religious education series presents Catholic teaching using the time-tested ecclesial methodology and spiral development of catechesis, in a beautiful, student-friendly, comprehensive format.
It is excellent for grades 1-8 in Catholic schools, parish catechetical programs, and home schools.
The Faith and Life revised edition series is fully correlated with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and features increased use of Scripture to complement the series’ outstanding presentation of Catholic doctrine and practices. The teacher's manuals were recently updated (2009/2010) with a new layout, spiral bindings and several added features which will make it easier for teachers to use and implement the series.

The Image of God religion series is an exciting and comprehensive Catholic program that has as its foundation the creation of human beings in God’s own likeness. The greatest confirmation of man’s unique dignity is the Incarnation of Christ, the God-man who is the perfect image of the Father and who reveals God as Love, especially by the Cross and Resurrection. In revealing God, Christ showed us who we are and how to act. This emphasis on the dignity of the individual child as the foundation of this series is taken from Scripture, the documents of Vatican II, and the writing of John Paul II. It presents the Catholic Faith in a stimulating and easy to read format that is being praised by teachers, pastors and bishops.

The Didache Series is ideal for high school and adult education, seminaries and colleges, RCIA, catechism classes, and home schooling. “The Ad Hoc Committee to oversee the Use of the Catechism, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, has found [these texts] to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”
The beauty and quality of these colorful hardbound books qualify them as true art books and make them perfect for gift-giving. The art and knowledge of over 2,000 years has been compiled in the Didache Series. These inspiring, sometimes breathtaking, books will become treasured additions to family and parish libraries—to be passed along from generation to generation.
In addition to the four Full Year Course Didache Series, there are now four new Semester Courses available with four more semester courses to be added in late 2010. These new semester courses were developed in conjunction with the USCCB bishops' guidelines for high school curriculums.
