Whether you want to learn more about your faith yourself or whether you're thinking of your child, here are a couple of resources for high school students through adults to grow in an understanding of our religion, presented in audio format.
Yesterday I re-discovered a fifties' religion book that is available on MP3-CD (playable on specialized CD players or a computer CD drive). The book is called This is Our Faith, by Canon Francis Ripley, and is available from TAN Books and Publishers. At the link, you can scroll down and listen to two samples from the book. The book sells on this CD for $21.00. According to the description at TAN Books, this book "covers the nature of God, the nature of man, the meaning of life, the nature of religion, the sources of Faith, the necessity of prayer, the duty of belief, the consequences of sin, the Commandments of God, the Holy Trinity, belief in Christ, the Redemption, the supremacy of the Pope, the Mystical Body of Christ, the Sacraments, the Mass, the priesthood, devotion to Mary and the Saints, what happens after death, the devotional life of a Catholic."
A more contemporary resource for Catholic instruction are these tapes of seminars by Fr. Frank Chacon and Jim Burnham. Or you can get them on CDs. Some of the topics of the tapes/CDs include: The Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, Defending the Catholic Faith (Beginning Apologetics), Right to Life Issues, and The Great Gift of the Rosary.
Please note that I have not read the This is Our Faith book myself, except for the samples at the website. Neither have I heard Fr. Frank Chacon and Jim Burnham myself, although I didn't just stumble across these on an internet search. Their apologetics materials were recommended to me by Alicia of Love2Learn.
If you check out any of these resources, please share with us what you think.
