Resource Review/Links
A video resource aimed at helping leaders understand and communicate the kerygma clearly, not vaguely. Best as a “watch first” primer before handing someone a tool, talk, or study.
By Bishop Louis Kihneman
Bishop Kihneman wrote Missio Nostra to serve as a guide to help all the parishes, schools, families and minsitries in the Diocese of Biloxi make the "shift from maintenance to answering the Great Commission of Jesus." It is a practical guide that takes the time to explain and define foundational concepts, provides practical suggestions and recommendations for implementation, and encourages all Catholics to reflect on how they can better live out the Great Commission in their personal lives & families as well as in their schools, parishes, and ministries. It is available in English, Spanish, French and Vietnamese.
By Bishop Robert Barron
In Seeds of the Word, Bishop Robert Barron explores how God’s truth, goodness, and beauty are reflected in the culture around us — in films, books, music, and everyday life. Drawing on the early Church Fathers’ idea of “seeds of the Word” scattered throughout creation, Barron demonstrates how popular stories can serve as entry points to deeper conversations about the Gospel.
By William A Barry, SJ
In God’s Great Story and You, Jesuit spiritual director William Barry invites readers to see their lives as part of God’s larger story of love and salvation. Drawing on Scripture, Ignatian spirituality, and everyday experience, he shows how God’s story is not abstract history but an ongoing relationship that includes each one of us. Barry helps readers reflect on their personal experiences of grace and connect them to the broader narrative of God’s work in the world.
