Jesus
Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids
By Sarah Young
Devotions written as if Jesus is
speaking directly to a child's heart.
Based on her original Jesus Calling, this version has
been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can
relate to their everyday lives. After many years of writing in her
prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with
pen in hand, writing down what she believed He was saying to her
through Scripture. Others were blessed as she shared her writings,
until people all over the world were using her devotionals. They
are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus
Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless
readers, and now young readers, with His presence and His peace in
ever deeper measure. Hardcover.

Beginnings
by Lori Ann Watson
In your beginning—yes, in your beginning,
God thought of you,
and he loved you.
A tiny seed
grows into a majestic tree. A small caterpillar flutters from the
cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. A fragile egg cradles the new life
of a baby robin. And a much-loved child is nurtured within a
mother’s womb.
Beginnings
is a fresh new way to teach children about the value of life at
every stage. Gorgeous illustrations take little ones through all of
the wondrous beginnings of God’s creations—a seed becomes a pine
tree, a yellow blossom becomes a tomato, a spring becomes a river.
Beginnings
emphasizes the value of human life by reassuring children that God
has loved them all along, from the very beginning.

The Book of Saints & Heroes
The first Christians to visit Europe and the British Isles
met pagans who told tales of fairies, talking beasts, and other
wonderful things. To these marvelous stories, they soon added new
ones about the Christian saints. Some were true, others improbable,
and many simply fantastic. In the ones we include here, you’ll meet
the saint who spent seven Easters on a whale’s back and the amiable
lion who was St. Jerome’s friend. You’ll see St. George fight the
dragon, and you’ll read about the fierce wolf St. Francis of Assisi
converted.But many of these stories have
in them scarcely a wave of the fairy wand. So you’ll also find here
true tales of great saints such as St. Louis of France, St. Vincent
de Paul, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Elizabeth of Hungary — souls
marked by courage, kindness, and piety.
These marvelous legends and exciting
true stories of Christian saints and heroes will provide many hours
of delightful reading to believers and non-believers alike! 336

This Little Light
Lessons in Living from Sister Thea Bowman
by Michael O'Neill McGrath
A
moving and joyous celebration of Sister Thea Bowman, her vision for
the church, and her model of humanity.
Sister Thea Bowman (1937-1980), an African-American Franciscan, is
one of the great treasures of the American Catholic church. Through
her integration of Catholic tradition and black pride she serves as
a beacon for a church that celebrates diversity, inclusiveness, and
love for all God's children. Through her ministry of public speaking
she touched countless people, bearing a message of faith and hope
rooted in the Gospels and the wisdom of the Spirituals. Through her
final ordeal with cancer she offered an inspiring example of what it
means to be ?fully alive,? and to ?live until one dies.?
Mickey McGrath is among the many whose life was changed by her
witness and story. Inspired by her message that God wants each of
one of us to let our little light shine he found his own vocation as
a religious artist. Here, through a series of 12 stunning paintings
and his reflections on her life and teaching, McGrath celebrates the
spirit of one of the great prophets and spiritual guides of our
time. It is a message that makes one rejoice in life and say Amen!
Brother Michael O'Neill McGrath, an Oblate of St. Francis de
Sales, is an artist, writer, and popular speaker. His work has been
featured in many books, including Women of Mercy, Blessed Art
Thou, and Patrons and Protectors. He lives in
Philadelphia. 96 pages, hardcover.

The Cure of Ars
by Milton Lomask
Milton Lomask contributes his second volume to the Vision Books series of
saints for youth 9 - 15 years old in this story of the greatly beloved Curé
of Ars. Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution,
longed to become a priest. But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if
the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He
did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that St. Jean-Marie Vianney
is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere. To
many he is known, not by name, but simply as "the Curé of Ars," the parish
priest who devoted his life to the little village of Ars and so successfully
led his people to sanctity that he became a prime target of the devil.

The Weight of a Mass: A Tale of Faith
written
by Josephine Nobisso
illustrations by Katalin Szegedi
When a poor
devout widow begs for a scrap of bread from a rich faithless baker, she
promises to participate in the king’s wedding mass as payment for the
baker’s generosity. The baker writes "One Mass" on a scrap of paper and
places it on his scale to determine how much bread it is worth. To his
and the entire town’s surprise, nothing in the shop, not even the
gigantic wedding cakes made for the king, outweighs the simple piece of
paper representing the true worth of a mass. Luminous old-world
watercolor paintings grace the interior of the book and gold foil
artwork lends an air of solemnity and sacred beauty to the story.

Jesus
Loves Me Board Book
by Joni Walker
This board book for very young children introduces
them to some of God's other children and points out the differences among
them. It gently encourages the young child to look beyond his immediate
environment and known world and to discover more of God's creation. It also
clearly identifies Jesus as Savior, who died and rose again on Easter as our
Redeemer.
Developed for children ages 1 to 4, this book depicts
scenes and people from everyday life that will show the young reader God's
wonderful creativity. The illustrations show a variety of children; the text
explains that all people are created by God and that Jesus came as their
Savior. Each page states a biblical truth in simple, child-friendly language
and illustrates it by showing things young children will recognize and
understand. This will help toddlers begin to individuate--that is, to begin
to see themselves and others as separate and unique. By so doing,
"Jesus Loves Me" teaches the young child to appreciate God's
beautiful and varied creation and to comprehend the presence and power of
Jesus in their lives.
This book will use an art style that is pleasing to very
young children, but will incorporate it along with age-specific text to
communicate the significance of Jesus’ saving work in the lives of God’s
forgiven and redeemed children. (Item #81273) $4.99

A Child's Book of the Rosary
Nothing says "Catholic" like the rosary. That

God's Heroes
A Child's Book of Saints
Heroes come in many forms – an athlete, your
grandfather, a firefighter, or even Superman. What better time than October,
as All Saints Day approaches, to familiarize children with 13 of the
Church’s most honored heroes? Each life story highlights a particular virtue
that saint possessed, and relates the virtue to a child's life today.
God's Heroes is arranged in an easy-to-follow format, with
information about a saint's life and work on the left and a fun activity on
the right to reinforce the learning. Of the 13 saints featured, most will be
familiar to children. A few may be new, which offers children the chance to
get to know other great heroes, and maybe pick a new favorite!
The 13 saints
include:
|
• |
St. Francis of Assisi |
• |
Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha |
|
• |
St. Clare of Assisi |
• |
St. Philip Neri |
|
• |
St. Joan of Arc |

Celebrate with Jesus
A Child's Book of the Sacraments
The newest book in this popular series introduces each sacrament to
young children with a story in the life of Jesus. Key words for each
sacrament help children understand and remember the main emphasis of these
celebrations of life and sources of grace within the Church.
As always, engaging activities help children “heart-learn” as well as
“head-learn.” A symbol for each sacrament is used to provide an instant
visual reminder.
In addition to learning about the sacraments, children will also become
familiar with common sacramentals, such as palms, the rosary, and holy
water. The sacredness of daily activities is presented as well, to reassure
that the sacraments are not our only means of grace.

Welcome Children!
A Child's Mass
Book
Here's a fun, reverent and educational way to help
children celebrate the Eucharist. Activities to develop understanding of the
Mass are arranged in an easy-to-follow sequence that parallels the
progression of the Mass. As Jesus opens the door to invite children in, an
activity identifying what they see - altar, tabernacle, candles, crucifix -
immediately helps them become familiar with the worship space.
Special faith-building features include mass responses (up-to-date and
indicated in red); simple icons that show when to sit, stand, kneel;
illustrations of traditional gestures and postures; 16 activities that
explain the parts of the Mass.
With activities on the left-hand pages and Mass prayers on the right,
parents can easily help children find their place with little interruption
of their own prayer experience. Once complete, the book becomes a personal
keepsake to use week after week. Welcome, Children! can help prepare
children for First Eucharist - or reinforce participation at Mass for those
who already receive Communion. It's a great resource for RCIA too!

Sacred Stories
A Child's Bible Book
Introduce young children to some of our most treasured
Bible stories in a way that captures their attention and helps them grow in
understanding of how their faith began. Each story, drawn from both the Old
and New Testaments, is followed by an activity that further explains the
story or its significance.
Sacred Stories is arranged in an easy-to-follow format with each
story on the left and the activity on the right. Stories preserve the
dignity of the original text and convey a healthy, loving image of God.
Activities nurture spirituality and develop understanding that faith is a
relationship that never stops growing.
The 17 stories, selected to represent a comprehensive view of the Bible,
include "God Creates the World," "God Frees the Jewish People," "The Ten
Commandments," "Proverbs Are Words of Advice," "Jesus Is Baptized," "Jesus
Heals a Blind Man," "Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene," and more.
