Give-Away Week, Tuesday

Today I will be giving away a book that is near and dear to my heart.

The Handbook for Catholic Moms: Nurturing Your Heart , Mind , Body and Soul is a beautiful resource for moms at every stage of mothering. Lisa was kind enough to ask me to contribute a sidebar about parenting a special needs child and I am so honored to be included in this wonderful book.

Seriously, you are going to love it.

Here's the blurb:

Drawing from the deep tradition of the Catholic faith, Lisa Hendey coaches Catholic moms in how to care for themselves—heart, mind, body, and soul—so that they can better love and care for their families, their neighbors, and their Church.

With warmth and wisdom, Hendey creates an environment where Catholic moms can reflect peacefully upon often-competitive topics like parenting style, types of schooling, and working outside the home. By sharing her own story, Hendey inspires readers to better balance their own needs with the demands of family life and faith commitment.

Lisa shares stories from her personal life as a wife and mother, as well as stories contributed by Catholic moms and families from around the country.  Each chapter of The Handbook for Catholic Moms contains relevant scripture passages, Church doctrine, and quotes from the lives of the saints.  Noted Catholics such as Danielle Bean, Father James Martin, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle and Phil Lenahan contribute their expertise and wisdom to make this a tremendous resource for Catholic mothers.  "Mom's Homework" reflections at the conclusion of every chapter help the reader apply the book's principles to her real world challenges as a Catholic Mom.

Leave a comment in this post if you would like to receive a copy of this book. I promise you will feel like you've had a retreat with loving friends when you finish it.

How this week is working:

I will leave comments open on all the posts until Friday evening. Please only enter each Give-Away once.  I will pick the winners over the weekend and post the whole lot of them on Monday. 

These products that will be gifting are truly that, my gifts to you my readers who are so kind to me. I hope that you all have fun participating in this.
