This Participant’s Book is part of the ON THE JOURNEY series of books intended to be used for the Order of Christian Initiation. This particular book, unlike the others in this series, is supplied as shrink-wrapped handouts that are designed to be masters for photocopying. The book contains materials for RCIA participants in the areas of doctrine, lives of the saints, conversion testimonies, liturgical year pieces, prayers, psalms, and many other pertinent topics. With all the handouts provided in the Participant’s Book, an RCIA leader can opt to use as many or as few as he or she deems prudent, a decision that can and must be made at the parish level for the participants in each given year. The 380 different handouts provided here are designed to be used when, as, and if needed. Therefore, the intent of the Participant’s Book’s large size is to provide a thorough spread of material from which an RCIA leader may select what is most suitable for those whom God has guided to the parish’s front door. The most unique aspect of this book is that it is endlessly copyable and printable from the hardcopy masters or enclosed CDs, making it not only one of the most content-rich and beautiful collections of handouts for adult formation, but also the most affordable by far. Edited by Barbara A. Morgan and William J. Keimig. Click here to view comments about ACM’s publications.

Cost Comparison
One of the great advantages of the RCIA Participant's Book is its reproducibility, which makes it the most affordable publication of its kind and scope on the market. You buy one, then copy and distribute the material for years to come. This is a great advantage to parish priests and catechetical leaders who can copy and distribute materials for the RCIA process, adult education, sacramental preparation, etc. See for yourself the cost effectiveness by comparing "On The Journey" RCIA Participant's Book with other similar products on the market. No other publisher is offering their entire set of materials as copyable, and no other publisher provides all participant materials on CD. Consider also the unparalleled wealth of handouts the ACM's Participant's Book contains: 380 handouts of all different varieties - truths of the faith, special topics, lives of saints, conversion stories, psalms, canticles, and other prayers - all elegantly formatted with beautiful art and photography.
