2025 RESOURCE OF THE YEAR by the Association of Catholic Publishers!
Winner of two 2025 Excellence in Publishing Awards from the Association of Catholic Publishers: Resources for Ministry (First Place), and General Interest (Third Place).
Winner of four 2025 CMA Book Awards from the Catholic Media Association: Faith Formation (First Place), First-Time Author of Theological Subject Matters (Second Place), Pastoral Ministry Catechetical (Second Place), and Honorable Mention (Design and Production).
Named the 2025 Resource of the Year by the Association of Catholic Publishers, A Journey through the Catechism: Unveiling the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness of the Catholic Faith is a multi-award-winning and timely resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.
In addition to this top honor, the book received multiple accolades from both the Association of Catholic Publishers and the Catholic Media Association, underscoring its value as one of today's premier catechetical resources--especially relevant as dioceses, parishes, and college campuses across the country witness a remarkable rise in adults entering the Church through the OCIA process.
What's fueling this unexpected surge? A growing restlessness. A sense of spiritual emptiness. A longing for meaning and purpose in a noisy, fractured world. More and more people are bringing their deepest questions to the Catholic Church--and discovering in her a rich tradition that speaks to both the heart and the mind.
Building on Michael Pennock's longtime bestseller This Is Our Faith: A Catholic Catechism for Adults, this fresh companion to the Catechism of the Catholic Church retains the favorite question-and-answer format while incorporating the pastoral voice of Fr. Daniel J. Mahan, director of the USCCB's new Institute on the Catechism.
With clarity and compassion, Fr. Mahan tackles challenging questions about God, faith, and the Church. When answers are difficult, he offers practical wisdom, encouraging readers to keep seeking and trusting in the God who seeks them first.
Organized around the four pillars of the Catechism--creed, sacraments, Christian life, and prayer--A Journey through the Catechism combines personal reflections, sound reasoning, and real-world examples to help Catholics:
- profess their faith
- worship meaningfully
- live morally and justly
- develop a life of prayer
You were born for much more than you can imagine. You are meant for God. You are meant to live with God and enjoy great happiness, Fr. Mahan writes. By picking up this book, you have taken the first step to discover or deepen your connection to God and to delve more deeply into the great mystery of your relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.
Designed to offer an immersive learning experience, this book includes:
- Accompanying videos featuring Fr. Mahan
- Engaging visual features such as tables, photo essays, and graphic organizers
- A free online Lectionary guide that links questions from the book to Sunday readings across all three liturgical cycles, including holy days
Perfect for homilists, OCIA catechists, parish groups, and individual seekers alike, the Lectionary guide also provides discussion questions for use during Sunday dismissal sessions and weekday catechesis.
Whether you are entering the Church, returning after time away, or looking to renew your understanding and commitment, A Journey through the Catechism will lead you to the truth, beauty, and goodness at the heart of Catholicism.
