   "This guidebook comprises seven sessions helping us connect our story to the story of God - Jesus Christ - making the very difficult journey from the eye, to the heart, to the mind, to the will, to life in its personal and communal aspects," says Dominic F. Ashkar, PhD, in the introduction to the book.
   
   Each session includes worksheets and each worksheet contains a gospel passage. Remarks and helpful guiding questions are provided for the DRE to use with the participants in small groups to move more deeply into the session theme.
   
   The guidebook uses Transfiguration Catechesis: A New Vision Based on the Liturgy and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Resource Publications, Inc., 1995) as a textbook for the sessions.
