“You’re teaching morality this year.” Few words strike more fear into the hearts of catechists and teachers than these. But thanks to Jim Philips, we can all look forward to teaching Catholic moral living in lively, compelling ways that will get students thinking, discussing, praying, and moving. Grounded in scripture and Church teaching on conscience formation and virtuous living, this excellent  resource places laws and commandments in the context of God's love and the call to walk with Jesus. It’s fortified with classroom-tested activities that can be adapted for students of all ages, giving both new and veteran educators confidence and enthusiasm.

Indeed, this concise overview uses straightforward and sensitive language to outline principles of even the most complex Catholic moral teachings, and includes contemporary challenges to moral living as well as principles of social justice. Best of all, Philipps helps educators convey that faith is not a checklist of moral dos and don’ts, but a joyful way of living that honors the sacredness of every human being and recognizes our deep connection to others, to creation and to our loving God.
