The Be Yourself Journal Club Guide is a tool for parents, teachers and youth ministers who want young girls to get the most out of the Be Yourself Journal.

This guide uses a group setting for young peers to complete many of the activities that are in Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls. This guide will help the girls “jump-start” their journal in a way that is exciting, fun and meaningful.

The Be Yourself Journal Club Guide provides five (5) meeting agendas. Each agenda will direct the adult leaders on which activities to focus on, what supplies to have ready, how to run the meeting that includes prompts for discussions.

A Be Yourself Journal Club can have 2 to 12 attendees! Small groups are great for these meetings! The ideal group size is around 8 girls.

These 40 prompts are perfect for Lent but can be used any time of year.  This ebook gives the prompts that you can use in your own notebook or journal.  Dedicating the time to prayer journal is a beautiful way to grow closer to Jesus and really allows us to see His hand in our lives more clearly. 

I pray that these ideas revive your faith and move your heart closer to God.  May the Lord Bless You Abundantly!

Another great way to prayer journal is to color a Scripture verse or a Saint quote!  Find some of those in my Catholic Coloring Pages Download!

You have a special mission – a unique light that the Lord has asked you to share with the world . . .

But how can you reach more souls?

Your message will reach more people if you have a network of like-minded individuals who understand the tremendous power of cooperation and collaboration.

Secular business owners understand the incredible results that come from a network.  As Catholic Christians, we know that when 2 or 3 gather in Jesus’ name, there God is in our presence.

Community is essential.

This resource, How to Network as a Catholic Online, will help you connect with the right people and enable you to build a network that will lead to more growth; provide a support system through challenges; and establish a community that will celebrate achievements with you along the journey.

What’s included?

• A brief description of what a network is and why it is so important.
• Practical tips on where and how to start building relationships that will support your mission and goals
• Specific people and groups that connect Catholics in positive, prayerful ways.
• Actions that have been proven to work and have resulted in a network of over 350 Catholic Influencers.

Written by author and experienced educator, Amy Brooks, these methods have been used in a youth group setting and not only allow the boys to get up and move, but encourage them to do so. 

While the lessons begin with topics that interest boys in the 6th through 8th grades (like cars, video games, outdoor adventures, pop culture and even warfare and friendship) – they quickly transform into discussions and experiences that each student can relate to and even feel drawn deeper into implementation and contemplation.

Help boys see where God is currently leading each of them in a way that is incredible, exciting and personal.
