Through the Year with Jesus not only has beautiful Scripture readings and reflections on the Gospels, it is also an invaluable guide to help parents, teachers, and catechists learn how to pray through the Bible with their children—and how to teach them to pray and live God’s Word.”

Katie Warner, Catholic Children’s Book Author, FirstFaithTreasury.com


Lectio Divina (and Visio Divina) are the hidden gems of prayer in the Catholic Church. With this book, Katherine Bogner brings these devotions to life for children, teachers, and parents. I am certain her guidance here will lead many young people into an encounter with Jesus Christ.”

“We’re told as parents that we’re the primary educators of our children, but often that can feel more daunting than empowering! In Through the Year With Jesus, Katherine Bogner gives parents the tools we need to share the faith as a family, and to grow in faith and prayer alongside our children.”

Rosie Hill, Homeschooling Mom of 7, Catholic Blogger

Katherine Bogner does not only love children and teaching them; she is exemplary and committed in her faith as a Catholic.”

Rev. Fr. John Bosco Mujuni, Ed.D, Pastor, Immaculate Conception Parish, Lacon, Illinois

 

“Long have I searched for a book that makes Scripture accessible to every child and family. This book helps you not only to know about Jesus but to know him through a personal relationship with him in prayer. It is a cornerstone book for every child, family, church, school, teacher, and catechist.”

Jenny Witt, Director of Evangelization, St. Philomena Catholic Church, Peoria, Illinois

1 review for Through the Year with Jesus: Gospel Readings and Reflections for Children

  1. Shari

    This beautiful book has my 11-year-old son obsessed with the Gospels. He’s a budding artist and historian, so he also enjoys studying the beautiful paintings and looking up the artists’ names, where they are from and when they lived in the back of the book. It works well with our homeschool curriculum and enables us as a family to look ahead to Sunday’s Gospel, leaving my kiddo with a clear picture of what Jesus is up to week by week. Katie’s prompts and questions are thought-provoking and give us plenty to discuss with each other as we walk through the year. I can’t recommend this gem enough, what a wonderful resource that we will continue to use year after year!
