Listening to God With Children: The Montessori Method Applied to the Catechesis of Children

Rating:
Summary: Great information -- just a few "technical difficulties"
Review: This is a great resource for catechists (or would-be catechists) using the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. While it offers a few "nuts and bolts" directions, its emphasis is much more on explaining the philosophy behind the method, and on developing the inner spiritual resources of the catechist. Especially in light of it being translated from Italian, it was easy to read and understand. There are a few technical problems in the printing, though mostly of a minor nature (the most glaring is that the contents of pages 112 and 113 are transposed). Overall, it is a valuable and inspiring addition to the working library of anyone using CGS -- and also of interest to those leading its offshoot, Godly Play.
