Student workbook with teacher/parent pages.


Student workbook with parent/teacher pages.


Cover does not do justice to this amazing program that catechizes students through art!
Teaches them art literacy and religious art literacy!

The author of "Beyond the Written Word" also created an app that can be used in any art museum in order to learn theology through art: art/y/fact.Xn (Android only at present)











Best book for parishes. 2016























BASICS:



It doesn't look like much, but this is THE collection of official Church (Vatican) documents
on the media  from 1936-1996. Be sure to get the 2nd Edition.
[LOGOS Divine Word Press, Manila 1997].
An additional slim volume, "C&SCBD Supplement I" covers 1998-2002.

PORNOGRAPHY:

There are several versions of this book for kids of various ages.
They are meant to be read together with parents.
Tells kids what to do when they encounter porn, and why porn is bad.







This is the ultimate porn debunker. Could have been entitled: "The Porn Lie."
Not a religious book, filled with science & stats.
Shoots down all the excuses.

DETOX from porn (CD & mp3)

Excellent DVD on porn from different perspectives:
former addict, former porn actor, researcher, etc.
(Mark Houck & Dr. Judith Reisman)


OTHER:

Best book for parents. Catholic Dad is a psychologist.
Works with families struggling with media.
He is neither optimistic nor pessimistic, but believes we can live well
 in this media world if we have a plan.

2018
