Dr. John R. Wood, author of "Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission", is often asked, "What helped you discover your faith and give you so much passion for it?" Saints in the Making University (SIMU) is the answer to that question. Based on his new book, "The Light Entrusted to You", SIMU is Dr. John's list of resources that opened his eyes to the genius of Catholicism and helped him fall in love with the faith. They are resources that will help everyday Catholics discover how Catholicism applies to every aspect of their lives. Dr. John has broken down the faith into 6 easy to remember categories which make up the acronym S.A.I.N.T.S. Each category has a list of resources that will help you not only learn the faith, but help share it with others of all ages, whether it is adults, teens, or small children.
