Why did God make us in His image and likeness? What powers has He given our souls, and how are we meant to use them? What happens when we choose to obey—or disobey—His laws?
Building upon the foundations laid in Book One, Book Two of The Spiritual Way turns the child's attention to the nature and purpose of man, exploring the intellect and will, the gift of grace, our supernatural destiny, and the consequences of sin. Through the study of God's Commandments and the Four Last Things, children learn not only what God expects of them, but why their choices matter.
Mother Margaret Bolton's remarkable method of religious instruction encourages children to think deeply about the truths of their Faith, express those truths in their own words, and apply them to everyday life. Rather than simply memorizing catechism answers, they are guided through questions, familiar examples, and practical moral problems that challenge them to reason carefully and exercise their wills in accordance with God's law.
Scripture passages, stories, illustrations, exercises for a personal Project Book, and selected passages of Scripture set to Gregorian chant help children make these truths their own.
Developed over many years and intended for approximately grades three through seven, The Spiritual Way is a carefully ordered, four-volume course covering twenty fundamental doctrines of the Catholic Faith. The accompanying Spiritual Way Manual explains Mother Bolton's educational principles and provides detailed guidance for teaching each book.
