If, as Pope Francis says, the church is a field hospital, then what does it mean to care for the wounded and heal the wounds. Tis book explores the nine core teachings of the church that make up this first proclamation.

Readers will become catechists and evangelists equipped to bring healing to those around them by learning: how to shift from making name-only Catholics to making Catholic disciples; the first thing we have to say to seekers; a thoroughly Catholic understanding of evangelization;

how what we teach and the way we teach heals the suffering of the world and the wounds of the seekers; Pope Francis's solution to what he sees as an urgent crisis in the world; the true vocation of a catechist and how to live it out; how the nine core teachings of the church tell the great story of our salvation.
