Charisms for Kids: a Catholic guide to raising kids who know where they fit in the Body of Christ
Every adventure starts with saying “yes” to God's call
What this book is
God made every kid in the perfect time and place, and He gave them amazing gifts called charisms to help build the Church. These gifts are clues to discovering the incredible plan God has for every life.
This easy-to-read guide for parents and kids is a map to uncovering charisms and understanding how to use them from ages 5–14. Each gift opens up new adventures and possibilities: helping others, creating beauty, or solving big problems. Along the way, you'll see how every kid fits perfectly into God's plan for the world.
Get ready to discover how God made every kid unique, find new and exciting ways to call out the gifts in others, and help your kids dream about the amazing things they could do with their gifts as they grow up. Every adventure starts with saying “yes” to God's call — this book will help you and your kids say that yes right now.

- Parents and grandparents of kids ages 5–14
