Saints Like Me Great Asian Catholics
$11.00Add to cartSaints Like Me: Great Asian Catholics
Join us as we celebrate some incredible Catholics from Asia! This study board book was created so that you and your children might fully understand that God has called us all to be saints. We worked hard to bring you their stories and their faces as you meditate on your own call to holiness.
Many of the individuals included in this book have been promoted to the level of saint, while others are on the way to sainthood. Regardless, all the people included are remarkable examples of the transforming love of Jesus Christ in real life.
Great Asian Catholics includes an original, colorful portrait of each person as well as a short biography. Each biography is concluded with a phrase to help children connect more fully with the saint and an invitation to be like them.
It is our hope that through this simple book you can make some more friends in heaven and grow in your own desire to be a saint.

Family Examine
$4.00Add to cartThe Family Examine is a beautifully illustrated story book. Full color.
This short story book is actually a prayer, not a story. Based on the Ignatian Examine, The Family Examine will take our family through this powerful mediation, together. Along with prompts for the examine, each day also features the incredible art of Jen Olson, which depicts an image of the Holy Family. Therefore, the Holy Family is your real guide through this powerful exercise.
As we worked on this book, here is how I dreamt this book would be used:
A parent grabs the book and sits down on the couch. Kids snuggle in. The family makes the sign of the cross and then the parent open the book and reads the opening prayer. Now the family begins the Examine together. On the first page they pause and silently become aware that God is present. Next, the family recalls and shares one beautiful thing they experienced. Next, each person shares a way that they felt love today, and then sorrow and finally grace. Maybe not everyone will share for each topic, but together the family will recall the way God worked in their life that day.
The book concludes with a prayer for your family.
It’s simple and beautiful. And the art on each page will inspire you as you recall they way God was present in your day.
