Summary: Best guide for RCIA sponsors
Review: As a Director for RCIA, I have looked at quite a few publications to use in training adult sponsors. This along with the companion video is the best that I have seen. It does take into account our year-round ongoing RCIA process. I highly recommend it and are providing copies to each of our sponsors. Additionally we use the companion video in training these same sponsors.

Summary: An Excellent RCIA Resource
Review: Sponsorship is such an important part of the RCIA process and this well written book is an excellent take-away for sponsors. It provides simple explanations to qestions frequently asked by candidiates and catechumens. It gives enough information without making the education process cumbersome. We will use it as a resource in our upcoming class for sponsors.

Summary: best of class
Review: This is a slim, non-threatening volume that provides the essential information for a person becoming an RCIA sponsor. While avoiding the complication of precise terminology so that the book reads easily, it does distinguish the varying states of the "candidate" as inquirer, catechumenate, candidate, neophyte, elect ... and of the various roles RCIA sponsor, godparent, confirmation sponsor ...The information regarding the expectations of the sponsor through the full RCIA process is excellent; it is supplemented by thoughtful questions, quotes from the Catechism, Scripture and the Rite. It's only drawback is that it makes a number of assumptions about parishes that may be untrue of many parishes. Because of this, it should be provided as information that supplements the training provided by the parish not in lieu of parish training. This whole series of "Handing on the Faith" is solid and should be accessed any time you are seeking for resources in this area.
