At every age, the content of teaching and the way faith is taught vary and must make use of adapted material. This is the spirit that guided the development of these manuals for children aged 11 to 14.
Designed to lead them to think for themselves in a biblical way, Towards the Kingdom develops a thematic approach to the Bible through the study of epistles, biblical characters, or psalms, but also raises awareness of ethics and the Christian way of life, particularly through the study of the Sermon on the Mount.
This series of six booklets also provides an opportunity to awaken and open pre-teens in the simplest way possible to theological reflection by having them address, alongside essential subjects such as prayer or Christian life, some themes that may appear a little less usual but are just as fundamental, such as revelation, predestination, or judgment.
Even if a large place is given to discussion and reflection, the proposed program does not forget that the Bible is above all a book of stories and that not all children have necessarily followed biblical teaching from a young age, or may only be coming into contact with the Bible at this stage of their lives; therefore, it includes an overview of biblical history.
Towards the Kingdom crowns the series of catechetical manuals for teaching faith to children from a young age with First Steps for toddlers, On the Path for 3-9 year olds, and Underway for 9-11 year olds, whether in church, in children's clubs, or at home.
