Resource Review
I received this product in June to review. From the website, Arma Dei Publishing Company:
Two Journals in one! The first section of the Faith Journal traces the teaching and celebration
of the seven Sacraments and the Catholic Faith. The second section of the Faith Journal ("Heart to heart with Jesus") offers thought provoking questions and reflections on life and a growing relationship with Jesus.
This hardcover, concealed coil book is packed with prompting reflections and questions, tracing the child's Catholic journey of Faith: the celebration of the Sacraments, the growing knowledge of the Catholic Faith through Catechism and Tradition and the child's deepening personal relationship with Jesus.
Catechism references are included to look up specific questions, although there is a complete answer key in the back of the book for Catechism based questions.
I was surprised initially at the depth and scope of information that can be recorded. It is a place to record a childhood's worth of information related to the sacraments and then how they live out their faith. It begins with a simple profile page to record things like eye color, future career, brothers and sisters. On another page, you are able to record your family tree in a sweet graphic image of a tree. Following the family tree are several pages to record your personal perpetual calendar including items like birthdays, anniversaries, Baptism days and other sacrament reception days.
