Once Catholics are engaged in their spiritual journey, there is an abundance of materials that can feed them and draw them deeper into a relationship with God and the Church. But there is a great shortage of materials that engage disengaged Catholics. Most young Catholics are disengaged. Engaging them is therefore the first step. Until they are engaged, it doesn't matter how much information you download on them; they simply will not absorb it and make it their own. Many programs faithfully present the teachings of the Church. But that alone is not enough. While presenting the Church's teachings faithfully is essential, it is also critically important that they be presented in ways that are engaging, accessible, and relevant. DECISION POINT has taken more than four years to develop. The truth is, in many ways it is very different from what we originally envisioned. When we first set out we thought that the entire program would be online. But over and over again, you asked for physical workbooks, leader guides, and DVD's so we adapted. Hundreds of people have spoken into this project, and it is better because of that. This is the process we worked through to develop this engaging, robust workbook. This is not just any other book. One look at it, we hope you can see this. We hope Confirmation Candidates treasure this workbook and make it their own. We've created plenty of space for them to write all over this book and use the journal pages to jot down their thoughts and experiences as they prepare for their Confirmation day. We hope they keep this book long after their Confirmation has passed and that they refer back to it throughout their lives.
