Popular Catechism in a Year Companion series gives podcast listeners a way to dive deeper into the Church teachings covered in each episode
Ascension has released The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume II, a book for listeners of the #1 podcast The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) who desire to follow along closely with the popular show.
To the excitement of Catechism in a Year fans, Volume II of The Catechism in a Year Companion walks listeners through Days 121–244 of the podcast, making it easier than ever to comprehend and live by Church teaching.
Based on the podcast episodes by Fr. Mike Schmitz with contributions from Matthew Doeing and Dr. Petroc Willey, Professor of Theology and Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville, the book is an incredible resource for Catholics looking to take the next step on their Faith journey.
Featuring the same format as its predecessor, The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume II features daily reflections on the podcast episodes, transcripts of Fr. Mike’s prayers, and beautiful graphics that help listeners dive even deeper into The Catechism in a Year. It also includes an introduction and review of each section of the Catechism to immerse readers more deeply in the Church’s teachings.
Fr. Mike Schmitz comments on how God is speaking to Catholics through this section of the Catechism, which explores the sacraments: “In this [section], God reveals how he wants us to worship him, how he wants us to come into contact with him, and how he wants to bring us into a relationship with him.” Fr. Mike continues, “God reveals…how he wants to be loved and how he wants to love us. And we learn that it is through the sacraments that we get to have a relationship with God.”
This book is the perfect addition to The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume I, and The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition.
The Catechism in a Year Companion, Volume II is available at www.AscensionPress.com.
