T3 Revelation: The Lion and the Lamb
The book of Revelation has captured the interest of modern adults and teens alike. With all that has been written and sensationalized in recent novels and films, this has become the most talked about (and most misunderstood) book in Sacred Scripture. But what exactly does our Church teach about this seemingly “cryptic” book of the Bible and how in the world do we begin to break open something so complex with our Catholic teenagers? T3 Revelation: The Lion and the Lamb unpacks the myths about Revelation, the end times, the mark of the beast, and so much more. T3 Revelation gives your teens an invaluable foundation for understanding the book of Revelation, while pointing out its modern significance, practical application, and daily relevance to a teenager’s life.

Theology of the Body for Teens
A chastity program needs to extend beyond teaching sexual morality. Yes, the Theology of the Body speaks to the purpose of love and sexuality, but also much more, including the most fundamental question of all: what is the meaning of life? With engaging stories, real-life scenarios, activities, and prayers, TOB for Teens connects the two hottest topics on the planet—God and sex— unlike any other chastity program in the church today. Teens are already surrounded with messages, images, and peer discussion concerning these topics. It is nearly impossible to escape them in today’s culture so it is vital to be there to offer them the truth in a positive and relevant way.
Teens and pre-teens are in a confusing time of quest and discovery, especially with issues concerning their bodies, their sexuality, their future and how they relate to others. After seven years and tens of thousands of students having gone through the Theology of the Body for Teens chastity programs, our feedback confirms that these issues are on their minds more than anything else. They do have questions. They may never voice them, but they want guidance. More than that, they crave it even if they don’t actively articulate it. The Theology of the Body for Teens chastity programs use Blessed Pope John Paul II’s vision for love and life to answer the tough questions kids are asking about God, sex, and the meaning of life.
