This is a unique collection of ten of Chesterton's famous Father Brown stories which puts special emphasis on the role that Brown's Catholic faith played in helping him solve the murder mysteries. As Dorothy Sayers once wrote, Chesterton was "the first man of our time to introduce the great name of God into a detective story ... to enlarge the boundaries of the detective story by making it deal with death and real wickedness and real, that is to say, divine judgment."
This paperback Father Brown edition includes generous footnotes (not available in other editions) which help to clarify the literary and historical allusions made by Father Brown. It is based on the texts of the original editions by Chesterton for assurance of complete authenticity, and is set in easily readable type.
These are excellent short detective yarns in the classic British tradition of Sherlock Holmes - puzzling concoctions of mysterious crimes, dubious suspects and ambiguous clues. They are among the very best of the Father Brown stories.
As in the original edition, the worksheets, puzzles, Bible studies and games are based on the four pillars of the Catechism - the Creed, Sacraments, Commandments and Prayer.
The activities require little preparation or materials and can be used to supplement any catechetical program for children in grades 1 through 8. Each activity is self-contained, perforated to tear out and reproduce for group use.
Whether it is memorizing the precepts of the Church, understanding the Bible, or learning to pray, these exercises will enrich the faith of children and those who teach them, and help reinforce the lesson in a fun and effective way.
Colored leaves in September. Pumpkins in October. Pilgrims in November. Baby Jesus in December. Snowflakes in January. Hearts in February. Shamrocks in March. Bunnies in April. But why? Do you ever long for something a little different and think, instead, maybe I could. . . .? This amazing book will walk you through the school year, give you a crash course on the Church's year, and suggest customs you can use with children of all ages from Advent to Easter, fall to summer. You'll learn how to set up and decorate a classroom that will form your students in the tradition of biblical and liturgical images, as well as how to make spectacular bulletin board and table top displays. You'll also have an invaluable resource to turn to when questions arise. Peter Mazar is the author of the best-selling book To Crown the Year: Decorating the Church Through the Seasons. The wisdom and practicality of that book led teachers and catechists to ask if there was anything similar for them. This is it! A must-have for any teacher, catechist, classroom aide, principal, director of religious education, liturgy coordinator, and parish or school secretary. Published by Liturgy Training Publications.
