Book excerpt: How to Grow in Faith challenges Catholics of all ages, especially young people, to ask questions, search for answers together, and discover how God loves each of them very deeply. Using Tweeting with GOD and Online with Saints as a basis, this book comprises a full, interactive catechetical program for participants, including online material, videos, mobile apps, social media, and assorted activities. Those engaged in youth, young adult, and adult ministries will find this to be a valuable resource, which can be used in religious education, sacrament preparation, RCIA, and marriage preparation. The program is versatile enough to be utilized by people who are completely new to the Faith as well as those searching to deepen their understanding. The personalized program consists of eighteen meetings and can be spread over the course of months and even years. Each meeting begins with a question that helps participants to explore their faith through interactive exercises and profound dialogue. Participants grow together while searching for answers that reveal the truth about life, love, and faith.
