A Catholic Where's Waldo

Where's Waldo? That was easy. Now, in the picture below, find the sad young man who sought riches instead of God, and is weighed down and imprisoned by his wealth. Having trouble? Click on the picture and then move your cursor over the new image to magnify it. That will reveal the rich details drawn there by the beloved Catholic author and mystic, Caryll Houselander. Called The Best Way of Life, this picture is just one among a dozen highly-detailed ones in My Path to Heaven, Fr. Geoffrey Bliss's delightful introduction to our Catholic Faith. A mini-retreat tailored to children ages 9 to 12, My Path to Heaven shows them the kinds of life-choices we all have to make and prepares them to make the right ones. Along the way, it teaches young kids the basics of our Faith, explaining man's fall, the Nativity, God's will, Christ’s Passion, Angels, the Trinity, Heaven and Hell, the Incarnation, and the Sacraments. Plus, from the text and images, young ones learn about: • Free will, and how it's a 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 to avoid the Devil's snares • The three ways to make good choices • And much more! Although its similarity to Where's Waldoprovides children many delights, this is no childish book. Unlike so many religious books that talk down to children or trivialize our Faith, My Path to Heaven is:  SeriousIt acknowledges and speaks to the deep seriousness that attentive parents know lies in the hearts of even the very youngest children. PracticalIt emphasizes proper devotion and right action, not feelings. Substantial It considers central points of the faith and addresses the issues that face every Christian, even the youngest. PrayerfulIt speaks reverently of holy things, inspiring children to develop reverence toward Jesus, Mary, and the Saints. InstructionalChapters 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. and Captivating Pictures keep the attention of the most restless children, as they discover in them exciting details about the faith. Fr. Bliss and Caryll Houselander based My Path to Heaven on the traditional St. Ignatius Retreat (trusted by Catholics for centuries), adapting it particularly for children. The result? A clear, simple, thoughtful presentation of the Faith ideal for forming children in holiness.  Still not convinced? Read the following chapter and click on the accompanying image to see its details.
