Description
Jesus had a threefold ministry on Earth: to heal the sick and wounded, proclaim the Good News, and teach those who became his disciples. It’s an approach imitated by the saints throughout history and continues to be the cornerstone of successful ministry in parishes, Catholic schools, and other vibrant programs today.
Jared Dees—author of 31 Days to Becoming a Better Religious Educator—will help you understand how Jesus’ ministry transformed lives through biblical examples such as Paul, Bartimaeus, the centurion’s servant, and the woman at the well. He shares the importance of healing through the ministries of saints, such as Mother Teresa, Br. André Bessette, Ignatius of Loyola, and Fr. Damien of Molokai.
Dees offers practical examples of how to apply Jesus’s threefold ministry to everyday life: allow yourself to be constantly evangelized; learn to help others through both good and bad times; and root yourself in community. He also suggests examples of ministries that are effectively reaching the faithful of all ages today, including Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Life Teen, Teens Encounter Christ, Theology on Tap, FOCUS, and Christ Renews His Parish. Dees will guide you with practical ways to imitate Jesus’s ministry in your own classrooms and faith formation programs at all levels.

A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“For all the discussion these days about the New Evangelization, there seems to be a surprising amount of confusion about what it is. Jared Dees takes us beyond all the clutter and chatter to set out the basics, returning us to the very ministry of Jesus. To Heal, Proclaim, and Teach is an extremely readable, entirely practical guide for anyone interested in this critically important topic. Great book; we love it!”
Rev. Michael White and Tom Corcoran
Authors of Rebuilt
“Here is a promising antidote to the discomfort many of us feel toward evangelization. Dees offers a perceptive reading of contemporary culture, a spiritual grounding rooted in deeply pondered human experience, and a rich theological framework based on the ministerial priorities of Jesus. This is an exciting resource for all parish leaders, providing a wealth of practical suggestions for weaving evangelization throughout parish life.”
