Oh, what it takes to get a not-quite-four-year-old to take a usable picture…
…while the baby invokes his Right To Wiggle All Over Mommy’s Lap Any Time She Sits Upon The Floor….

Oh, there they are!
This Little Light of Mine: Living the Beatitudes, coming soon from Liguori Publications!
The point of this book is to take faith, which we tend to approach from an internal, heart-and-mind perspective, and bring it down to the intensely, mundanely practical level: the actions and the words of the everyday. Are you ever going to kill anyone? Not likely! But that doesn’t mean you’ve got the 5th commandment covered. It has implications for the way we interact with others every day. Unlike my other two books, I really wrote This Little Light of Mine with adults’ faith formation in mind as much as that of their children. During the penitential and high seasons, we’re at least nominally focused on religious topics. The rest of the year is make-or-break time for our spiritual growth. During ordinary times, we’ll either choose to be committed, or we’ll slip into “me first, God when I have the time and inclination” mentality. I wrote this book to help you think about the specific actions that underlie the religious concepts we talk about all the time.
YEAH!
ha, ha ,ha – my smile, no my chuckle, ahh no, now it is my belly laugh for today!!!
Congratulations on this accomplishment! It sounds like a very useful and inspirational book!
For some reason that cover makes me think of Spiderman
Congratulations on your latest book, Kathleen!
The not-quite-four-year-old did pretty well! Congratulations on your book!
Congrats on your book!
Glad I came across this post! I am attempting to make “reading Christian books” part of our Lenten process with the kids. This is a good one to add to the mix!
