The book walks readers through the liturgical calendar, suggesting activities, projects, devotional practices, and prayers to accompany Catholic families as they celebrate the course of the Catholic year from Advent through Thanksgiving. The book contains many wonderful ideas and traditions for ...

How to Raise Good Catholic Children

Sophia Institute Press, 2004

Great Read, Great Reference
This book was a gift from the Godmother of my youngest of 5 children. It is full of wonderful insights and examples. I use it as more of a reference than anything else, for my college-age daughter who calls with disgust at what professors try to convince her is taught by the Catholic Church to questions she has as she struggles between this world and her morals, and I turn to it for situations ...

I Knew Mrs. Mary Reed Newland
I know the religious writings of Mrs. Mary Reed Newland. More importantly, however, I was privileged to know her, and I graduated in 1964 from Monson (Massachusetts) High School with two of her sons, James and John. Mrs. Newland writes with keen insight and with unfailing grace; quite simply, she wrote the way she lived. Any Catholic, any Christian--indeed any person--will benefit ...

The saint book: For parents, teachers, homilists, storytellers, and children

Seabury Press, 1979

Great Book on the Saints
This book relating the lives of over 50 saints was the book that got me hooked on reading every book on the saints that I can lay my hands on. That being a very subjective statement that helps you know nothing about the book, other than that the stories are good, let me quote from the jacket cover what I found to be very true in reading this book. "THE SAINT BOOK, written by a noted ...

YOUTH: WHAT HAPPENED?

Mary Reed Newland

Ave Maria Press, 1970

Thoughtful, informative, written at the moment it happened
Catholic writer Mary Reed Newland published this fascinating little book in 1970. It's a commentary on the youth revolution of the 1960s from an open-minded adult's perspective -- in this case, a specifically post-Vatican II Catholic perspective. And it provides a real flavor of the temper of the times, the philosophical & cultural questions in the air, providing insight into the hopes & fears of ...

Good only for Generalizations
While this book is somewhat an "all inclusive book" on the Old Testament, the commentary lacks detail. This is not to say I regret having purchased this book, however, it is not so much a guide through the O.T. as one might be looking for. It is not an extensive viewing of the O.T. but rather a glimpse at each part of the O.T. Therefore, I suggest this for those that wish a light reading of ...

Great parenting resource back in print
This great little book, originally printed in 1958, brings the saints alive for children. The stories in this book can be read aloud to children of all ages. The first part of the book covers Abraham, John Bosco, Dominic Savio, Maria Goretti, Bernadette Soubirous, Therese Lisieux and the Holy Family, giving stories to help children see how these people became saints. It views their family life, ...
