For a decade, Focus on Faith has been the un­­challenged resource for those on their journey to the Catholic Church. With this revised edition, its continuing use­fulness and popu­larity are ensured.

Focus on Faith is a systematic exp­lo­r­ation of the think­ing and practice of Catholicism, primarily inten­ded for use by those parishes in which people are em­barking on the cat­ech­u­­­­menate period of the RCIA.

The contents are divided into 20 'sessions', each of which has an intro­ductory text on a theme for home reading, followed by sug­gestions for group discus­sion and exploration, and concluding with a short period of prayer.

The sessions are:

The story • The journey • Conversion • Jesus the Christ • Jesus and us • Scripture: The Old Testament • Scripture: The New Testament • The Holy Spirit and the Church • The Church's story • Catholic specialities • Prayer • Sign and sacrament • Baptism and confirmation • Eucharist (Mass) • Reconciliation, and anointing of the sick • Orders (Priesthood) and marriage • Love, sex and the Church • Justice and peace • Ecumenical and inter-faith movements • The Christian response.
