Book Description
Unpacking Faith offers reflections for military connected youth and parents to discuss the challenges of transition in the context of the Catholic faith. The book has three sections that focus on how we live, move, and have our being in Christ. Two of the important constants in this transient lifestyle remain faith and family. Each section in this resource has individual reflection questions, ideas for applying those reflections, and questions to foster dialogue between youth and parents.
Praise for this Book
Unpacking Faith is well-grounded
in solid theology, reflection and practical wisdom and offers a faith-filled
down-to-earth approach on how to be a faithful disciple of Christ in a
world of transition and change. Mark Moitoza underlines the importance
of developing a dialectic whereby we engage youth in the challenges they
face today and channel these young people into the larger adult church
community where the Sacraments nourish and strengthen us all to act as
an integrated Body of Christ. Hopefully, after reading this great book,
you will be inspired to take the constants of your own faith and family
and have them become ways for transforming the transitions and challenges
of our military lifestyle into opportunities for becoming evermore faithful
and fully formed disciples of Christ.
~ Most Reverend Joseph W. Estabrook, Vicar for Evangelization and
Vocations, Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA.
Unpacking Faith is a very
unique and practical resource assisting high school young people in appreciating
their Catholic identity, developing a personal relationship with God and
fostering self understanding, while navigating a military lifestyle. Mark’s
experience and vision greatly enhance the value of this resource as both
a personal and catechetical tool.
