Timeless Truth: An Essential Guide for Teaching the Faith

Overview

Confirmation is an important milestone. Yet once the Rite of Confirmation is over, some families feel that their child has graduated, spiritually speaking.

What Christians learn in confirmation doesn’t have to end there. God’s Word works in the lives of students beyond direct instruction. Catechesis can become a way of life for young people in the greater faith family.

Timeless Truth: An Essential Guide for Teaching the Faith helps faith leaders focus on equipping students for lifelong learning as they ask the big questions throughout life and look to the timeless truth of God's Word for answers.

Using current educational research and best practices, author Pete Jurchen shares a philosophy for teaching the faith, uncovers why confirming the faith matters so much, and provides strategies for
designing lessons around the big ideas of the faith. He shares valuable insights about different types of learning, ideas for asking the right questions, and meaningful ways to assess student learning.

Whether you’ve taught confirmation for years or you’re brand new to the experience, this book provides a practical framework for helping students and their parents embrace confirmation as part of their lifelong identity as children of God.
