As the title suggests, Breakthrough! The Bible for Young Catholics highlights what happens throughout salvation history between God and humanity. God breaks through and connects with human history, thereby establishing a relationship with humanity.
Using the Good News translation, Breakthrough! The Bible for Young Catholics was created for young people leaving childhood and entering adolescence. Its ten special features were created to help make the Bible easier for young people to read and understand.
They will learn about the great people of the Bible, and will see how God has been breaking through in human history and connecting with humanity for thousands of years. Most important, they will discover, in the Bible, how God's messages to key people of faith have meaning for life today.

The teaching activities manual will help Catholic middle school teachers, parish catechists, and youth ministers further engage the students in their exploration of the Bible. The special focus of this manual is the biblical people who have important roles in salvation history. This manual provides a variety of ways to meet the needs of young people.
The student workbook covers the same people as the teaching activities manual. Each biblical figure has a puzzle for the young person to work with that guarantees that they have the basics of the story down, encouraging them to read about each person. A second page has a short introduction to the character that explains their place in salvation history. This page also contains reflection questions for the young people to consider as they make connections between this biblical figure and their own lives.
The Bible, the teaching manual, and the student workbook are not dependent on one another--rather they are interdependent in that the use of each strengthens the positive characteristics of the other. (The student workbook does require the use of a Bible even if it is not Breakthrough!)
