General Description:

Geoffrey Bliss, S.J.

My Path To Heaven is an old-fashioned "retreat-a-book" that helps children ponder the truths of the Faith and calls them to live lives of holiness in accordance with those truths.

Based on the traditional St. Ignatius Retreat (trusted by Catholics for centuries) and adapted particularly for children, this clear, simple, thoughtful presentation of the Faith is ideal for parents seeking to form their children in holiness. It is:

Serious: it acknowledges and speaks to the deep seriousness that attentive parents know lies in the hearts of even the very youngest children
Practical: it emphasizes proper devotion and right action, not feelings
Substantial: it considers central points of the Faith (see details at right) and addresses the issues that face every Christian, even the Youngest
Prayerful: it speaks reverently of holy things, inspiring children to develop reverence toward Jesus, Mary, and the saints
Instructional: chapters conclude with questions to help children review what they've learned, and to help them choose to strive for holiness
Scriptural: chapters include numerous Scripture references
Captivating: pictures keep the attention of the most restless children, as they discover in them exciting details about the Faith

Faith basics covered:

Love • Salvation, Man's fall • The Nativity, God's will • Christ's Passion, Angels • The Trinity, Heaven & Hell, The Incarnation, The Sacraments

PLUS:

Free will: a great gift and a great responsibility
God's overwhelming mercy and patience
God's generosity: why He deserves all our love
Heaven: why now is the time to begin seeking it
The promise of victory to those who try to be holy
How Your child can avoid the Devil's snares
The three ways to help your child make good choices
And much more! 1t

My Path to Heaven is best For children ages 9 to 12, but even nonreaders can enjoy the rich illustrations.
