I have come to tell you about the creation of the world and what happened in Eden.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo begins one of the many exciting lessons in this surprising adventure catechism -- lessons taught by Abraham, St. Patrick, St. Cecilia, and, of course, Eve, the mother of all mankind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEve tells young Cecilia and Michael how the world was made and how the Devil deceived her. She describes the sorrowful events that followed. Abraham picks up the story, speaking of his own life, of Moses, and of the savior God promised the Jews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut this is an adventure catechism, so in these pages there's more than talk: Abraham takes the children back in time to watch Moses save the Israelites by parting the Red Sea. St. Patrick lets them see the Druids try to kill him for his Catholic faith. And he takes Michael and Cecilia to Bethlehem, where they stand with the shepherds in adoration of the newborn King.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween catechism lessons taught by saints, the children travel back in time to witness persecuted Catholics risking their lives to attend furtive Masses in Roman days, in Reformation England, and in the Soviet Union just a few decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough words and witnessing, deeds and doctrine, adventurous Michael and Cecilia learn the central truths of our Catholic Faith and discover how important they are, even today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarigold Hunt was a speaker for the Catholic Evidence Guild and served for many years as advertising manager of Sheed and Ward publishing company.
