The team at Garratt Publishing wishes everyone a happy and successful new year.

We look forward to bringing you great educational resources in 2013.

Our Start With Your Heart Series Sets New Approach To Christian Dialogue Innovative Christian literacy program, Start with your Heart, was launched in Australia in late 2012.The Start with your Heart program is a guided reading series designed to enable teachers and students to develop a deeper appreciation of God by reading together and engaging in Christian dialogue. Levelled texts have been designed to develop students’ religious language and personal understanding of their relationship with God, Jesus and other people around them. The program is well-supported with teacher guides and interactive assessment activities.

Published by Garratt Publishing and co-authored by our own Publisher, Rosanna Morales, Start with your Heart is grounded in scripture and presents theology in a contemporary form that children can really understand regardless of their literacy level. This program is a unique program and has been written in consultation with leading Australian RE consultants and theologians. Rosanna Morales said “It has been a labour of love and we are very proud of it. The guided reading packs include some really wonderful topics, with titles such as I Can See God’s Love, Jesus is Within Us, When I am Still and I Open MY Heart.

We hope every Christian school will see the value and benefits of the program for their teachers and students.”

Start with your Heart can only be purchased from Nelson Cengage Learning. Contact your school’s Cengage representative or contact Nelson Cengage at www.nelsonprimary.com.au

Message to Principals & Assistant Principals Special book for Every New Family Entering the Catholic Education System for the First Time Every child deserves to receive as much support and encouragement as possible in relation to the religious education they will receive while at your school. Many parents may have little or no knowledge of the Catholic Church or its traditions.

To assist new Catholic school children and their parents we have published a wonderful little book called So You’re Sending your Child to a Catholic School.

The book can be customised for your school on request and can include such specific information as a message from the principal and/or bishop, school history, information about your patron saint, school policies etc. We highly recommend this book to you.

SO YOU’RE SENDING YOUR CHILD TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL Monsignor Tony Doherty So You’re Sending your Child to a Catholic School is intended for parents of children in Catholic schools: both those entering the system for the first time at Prep or Year 7 level, and those who, beyond the school, may have little contact with the wider Church community. This book is a friendly introduction to Catholic life in which the ‘basics’ are explained in an inspiring and accessible way. Monsignor Doherty extends a kind invitation to all who come in contact with the Catholic Church to look a little closer at this ancient, vibrant faith.

Information Book for New Teachers and Employees Working in a Catholic school is a little different to working in other schools.

These differences are articulated in a lovely purpose-written book by Monsignor Tony Doherty. So You’re Working for the Catholic Church is designed to help new staff appreciate a little better the culture they are coming into and what makes this school the place it is, and something of the vision that caused it to be established in the first place. Easy to read, incredibly easy to understand: it’s a true friendly guide to the Catholic tradition. A must have resource for every new employee.

Coming in 2013 THE AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC YOUTH PRAYER JOURNAL

Perfect gift for your World Youth Day pilgrims.

An ideal resource for all Catholic Secondary school students, The Australian Catholic Youth Prayer Journal has been beautifully designed and aims to specifically sharpen students’ ability to hear and reflect on God’s voice through Scripture and prayer. The format encourages students to write their own reflections, while providing stimulus questions to ensure their writing is focussed; a crucial feature for contemplating God’s directions.

For further information see page 12. Order in advance at sales@garrattpublishing.com.au

A Rare Opportunity for Students to have their Work Published THE THIRD SPACE: A Space for Inter-faith Dialogue WANTED: Students in years 5–8. Be part of our The Third Space inter-faith literacy series for middle years students.

Competition We want to publish your work! for Students We all occupy a space, based on our belief system, a first space; others occupy their space, a second space; if we step out—together—with an open heart and an open mind, we can occupy a third space—together.

The Third Space will be a series of twelve novellas or short story compilations exploring the ‘otherness’ of groups in a multicultural, multi-faith community. Students will be introduced to an inter-faith approach to religious pluralism, and be challenged to find ways to be distinctively themselves whilst affirming the similarities of others and making space for difference.

A teacher’s guide will also be included, to aid classroom discussion and engagement with how our varied belief systems impact on how we deal with important social issues, like death, relationships and criminal behaviour.

Authors from the various faith traditions, such as Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Indigenous and Secular, will be contributing work, to which shall be added the selected work of the target readership: middle years students.

Competition details to be announced soon. Keep an eye on our website news or Facebook page!

WHAT WE BELIEVE Margaret Lavin NOVALIS

THE BOY IN THE BUBBLE: Education as Personal Relationship Mark Patrick Hederman VERITAS PUBLICATIONS

Teaching the faith is a great gift to the Church.

In today’s world, there is a real need to ensure Catholic schools remain vibrant faith communities.

One way to achieve this goal is for those involved in Catholic education to work on their own faith development. What We Believe explores the theological foundations of Christian faith.

The accompanying study guide provides theological processes that enrich the faith experience of teachers. Margaret Lavin inspires readers to reflect on their own faith development and, as teachers, to share it with others.

How does the Australian Catholic education system rate in relation to other countries, such as Ireland? Have we addressed the issues faced by Irish Catholic educators? Sometimes the best way to learn is from the experience of others. At times scathing, at times humorous, this insightful book looks at the flaws in the Irish Catholic education system and calls for a child-centred model of education which encourages the student to play an active role containing selfdirected and independent learning.

Understanding & Teaching Social Justice Secondary School SOCIAL JUSTICE: Fuller Life in a Fairer World

Great book for class sets. Free student activity sheets also available in March 2013

Bruce Duncan GARRATT PUBLISHING

Back to School Special . See page 24

Social Justice: Fuller Life in a Fairer World offers a succinct overview of how Catholic social thinking developed and why it is so important today. Bruce Duncan shows how strongly the Church insists that concern for social justice is a core element of Christian faith, as is evident in the Scriptures and the life of Jesus. He then examines how the Church promotes social justice in our modern world, confronted by new problems, from climate change to economic crises. He also considers the history and key elements of social justice thinking.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNHEARD John Falzon GARRATT PUBLISHING “Being locked up follows hot on the heels of being locked out.” The current St Vincent de Paul’s CEO warns that a revolution is needed to achieve a fairer, more equitable society.

Speaking out in his first book, The Language of the Unheard, Falzon draws our attention to the consequences of new passions, coming to the surface in societies around the globe, emerging in response to disempowerment and the exclusion of those of difference. It is clear that there are those for whom a new society is a not a luxury to ponder, but a necessity for which to fight.

Citing the words of Martin Luther King, Falzon reminds us that: “A riot is, at bottom, the language of the unheard.” An enriching, provocative book challenging us all to ‘hear’ the individual voices of those relegated to the edges of society. Falzon uses potent poetry as well as prose to bring the marginalized to life.

Student activity sheets available in March 2013

A must read for everyone, particularly those with a genuine interest in social justice for all.

A great book

for class sets.

Ecological conversion is the radical change of mind and heart that leads to a deeper love and respect for all Ask us for a special creatures as having their own integrity before God: it involves change to a sustainable lifestyle, to sustainable deal if ordering 20 copies patterns of production and consumption, and to sustainable economic and political choices. In this new book, Jesus and the Natural World, Denis Edwards encourages us, as Christians, to wholeheartedly embrace ecological conversion and to connect with people around the globe in their deepening commitment to the survival of life on earth.

For Christians, the deepest reason for ecological conversion is that we see the Earth and all its creatures as God’s good creation.

“Father Denis’ latest book is a wonderful read for anyone with an interest in exploring theology and our home, planet Earth. In this book Denis gives us the fundamentals of ecological theology including science and a universal perspective, biblical visions, Jesus Ministry, the Holy Spirit, Eucharist, Ecological Conversion, Spirituality and Action—and he has done this all with great skill.”

“The most impressive part of this book is it allows the writers to explain how they got to believe what they believe. It’s not always where they thought their perspective would lead. But real-life experience and conscience, along with study of scripture and church history, helped to lead them to views that may not always be supported by the church.”

THE GOD OF INTIMACY AND ACTION Tony Campolo SPCK PUBLISHING The God of Intimacy and Action reveals how contemplative spiritual practices can lead to greater intimacy with God and fuel passion for reaching out to others through spreading the Good News and fostering justice for the poor and oppressed.

The authors show why this combination is not only crucial but historical: it is vividly demonstrated in the lives of saints such as St Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola and Catherine of Siena.

ETHICAL BEING: A Catholic Guide to Contemporary Issues Scott Kline NOVALIS The Ethical Being seeks to teach people how to make ethical decisions. Scott Kline refuses to offer pat answers on the complex and sensitive moral dilemmas facing us as individuals and as a society.

Instead, he uses the framework of Catholic moral and social teaching to walk readers through the steps to understanding how to choose rightly.

In the section on contemporary issues, the book addresses hotbutton items such as same-sex marriage, new reproductive technologies, embryonic stem-cell research, just war tradition, economic globalization, consumer culture and poverty. The book ends with a conclusion that encourages readers to be good lay ethicists, which means asking critical questions of society and our unexamined practices.
