The Pathlight materials are designed to assist in preparing 7th and 8th grade students for the rite of confirmation by covering the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine found in Luther's Small Catechism. The Pathlight series provides students with rigourous coverage of information, continual reference to the questions and answers of the catechism, tools for Biblical study and opportunities to use those tools. It also contains activities designed to assist students in applying God's Word to their lives. Both the Teachers Guide and Student Books are companion pieces to the Bible and Luther's Small Catechism.
