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.
