Breaking Into Joy: Meditations for Living in the Love of Christ

By Anne Costa (Word Among Us Press, 2014)

We have 5 copies to give away!

About the book:

“The joy of the Lord is our strength.” Worries, pressures, disappointments, and stress are the weeds that crowd out the fruit of joy in our hearts. How can we remember that God’s joy is available to us at every moment? How can we resist succumbing to negativity, sadness, or cynicism? Anne Costa writes about the joy of the Lord in this book of one hundred short meditations. In each one, she challenges us to see how we can choose God’s joy in the everyday events and encounters of our lives. Costa’s gentle reminders can help you break into joy and live in the love that Christ has for you.

Lessons From Pope Francis For Children

By Angela Burrin (author) and Maria Cristina Lo Cascio (Word Among Us Press, 2014)

We have 5 copies to give away!

About the book:

Pope Francis has lessons for all of us—young and old alike. In this beautifully illustrated book, the Holy Father talks about God’s love, our friendship with Jesus, the gift of the Holy Spirit, the importance of prayer and taking care of the poor, how to get along in our families, and more. Each “lesson” is paired with a story from the Bible—from the parable of the Good Samaritan to the wedding feast at Cana. This is a wonderful way for children to understand the Holy Father’s teachings as they grow in their Catholic faith.
