Through the Year with Jesus not only has beautiful Scripture readings and reflections on the Gospels, it is also an invaluable guide to help parents, teachers, and catechists learn how to pray through the Bible with their children—and how to teach them to pray and live God’s Word.

Lectio Divina (and Visio Divina) are the hidden gems of prayer in the Catholic Church. With this book, Katherine Bogner brings these devotions to life for children, teachers, and parents. I am certain her guidance here will lead many young people into an encounter with Jesus Christ.

Through the Year with Jesus meets families right where they are, in all our imperfections, and gives us the tools to wrap our children in God’s word. What a blessing to so many families!

What a tremendous gift to the Church this book is! Parents, grandparents, godparents, teachers, and friends will find the Gospels opened to them through these reflections, questions, and (most especially) the insights they glean from the children they love.

We’re told as parents that we’re the primary educators of our children, but often that can feel more daunting than empowering! In Through the Year With Jesus, Katherine Bogner gives parents the tools we need to share the faith as a family, and to grow in faith and prayer alongside our children.

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus says, ‘Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.’ If you want to know as a family or as an individual how to fulfill the mandate of letting children come to Jesus and to know, serve, and love him, this book is a definitive resource. Katherine Bogner does not only love children and teaching them; she is exemplary and committed in her faith as a Catholic.

Long have I searched for a book that makes Scripture accessible to every child and family. This book helps you not only to know about Jesus but to know him through a personal relationship with him in prayer. It is a cornerstone book for every child, family, church, school, teacher, and catechist.
