Coming to God’s Word was written to help young people unlock the treasures of the Bible. With it they will also discover why the Bible is so important in our lives as Catholics.  Sixth graders will come to appreciate the Bible as God’s word for our lives. From the Old Testament, the young people will learn of God’s great love for our ancestors in faith and how they can enrich our lives today. From the New Testament, they will learn more about the good news of Jesus Christ, the beginnings of the Church, and how to live the gospel message each day.  Every time they use this book, young people are encouraged to ask the Holy Spirit to help them:

• be enthusiastic about learning the wonders of God’s word;
• ask questions about anything that puzzles them;
• explain in their own words what the Bible means to them;
• try to practice their faith better each day and live as God’s people.
