Authored by Fr Benzelão Teixeira, SDB, and Sister Teresa Joseph, FMA, this book helps young people discern the signs of the times they live in, understand what life is all about and live it to the full. From career choice to matters concerning love in life and marriage, this book speaks about it all. Teenage is an age of growth, period of transition from childhood to growing in maturity. What a youth experiences during this period of change can have a decisive impact on the rest of his/her life.
Fr Jim Gallagher SDB explores some of the Church’s development in thinking and practice of catechetical ministry and evangelisation, particularly since Vatican II.
In recent years, scholars in Asia have been building up a body of work in the social sciences which focuses more directly on Asian issues, examining how much of the more common theories and approaches taught in universities and colleges, often developed in a European or American context, are applicable to Asia. Fr Peter Newbery, SDB, has now published a book for people working with youth social workers, teachers, clergy, Salesians, and university students too may find it useful.
