“…reach children with the wonderful truth of ‘who’ they are…”

“We need to reach children with the wonderful truth of ‘who’ they are and God’s design for their bodies, before they are inudated with confusing, even toxic, messages from the culture. That’s why I recommend TOBET’s The Body Matters.”

Mary Rice Hasson, J.D.

“…No other curriculum is as authentic to St. John Paul II’s vision of the human person…”

“This curriculum brings out St. John Paul II’s thoughts and ideas about the human person in a clear, concise, and age appropriate way. No other curriculum is as authentic to St. John Paul II’s vision of the human person as The Body Matters series by Monica Ashour and her team.”

John Cox

Director of Catechesis, St. Thomas More, Centennial, CO

“…Thank you again for all of your labor pains.”

“A discussion in my catechetics class made me appreciate that TOBET has tackled gender issues appropriately for third graders in The Body Is God’s Design. This is done through teachings on the existence of natures, identity, limits, and uniqueness. Thank you again for all of your labor pains.”
