During the week of August 29th, 6 of the over 80 contributors visited A Seeking Heart with Allison Gingras (on Breadbox Media) to chat about the newest in the Catholicmom.com book collection - The Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion - available now from Ave Maria Press. Joining host (and #PrayerCompanion co-author) Allison Gingras on Tuesday was co-editor and co-author Lisa Hendey, followed on Wednesday and Thursday by Jeff Young, Sarah Damm, Colleen Duggan and Roxane Salonen.
Listen to Our Enlightening and Light-hearted Conversations:
