Rosary Album
by Michael Buccino
by Michael Buccino
A VISUAL AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION ON THE ROSARY.
A top favorite of young children and adults! Booklet includes over 200 original black and white illustrations (one for each bead!) by Mr. Michael Buccino. The artist began these drawings to help his children meditate more easily on the Rosary. "I came up with the idea that if they had a book with pictures it might keep their minds on meditating while they were praying and would be better able to concentrate on the Rosary. So I got started working on the Rosary Album, which took me 18 years to put together. The book has brought the rosary to life."
There is a picture and scripture verse for each bead. The Litany of Our Lady (with illustrations) is also woven into each mystery. For all ages.
Booklet, size 8.5" x 5.5", 72 pages

Teacher Tells a Story: Book Two
by Rev. Jerome D. Hannan
Encouraged by the success of his first volume of stories for teaching children in the first grade, Fr. Jerome Hannan went on to create a second volume of similar stories for second grade. While the theme of this volume is centered upon the importance and necessity of prayer, beginning with a comprehensive explanation of the articles of the Apostle's Creed, this very exploration in fact presents to the child the principal mysteries of our faith in story and example.

The Journeys of Jesus Book Three
The Journeys of Jesus Book One
by Sister James Stanislaus
An innovative series of three readers which interprets the events of the Gospel by organizing them into various journeys. To quote the preface, "...the author follows the footsteps of the Messias from the time He leaves His home in Nazareth for the first time, on His public mission, and presents in a series of ten journeys the events of His Life."
The first volume takes us from Jesus' baptism, the calling of His disciples, and the wedding at Cana, through various journeys in Galilee (the north country of Israel) and Judea (the south, surrounding Jerusalem), including His Sermon on the Mount.
In the second volume, Jesus' ministry takes him into the pagan provinces of Phoenicia, Decapolis, Caesarea Philippi, as well as Samaria and the land beyond the Jordan. Here we encounter His Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor and hear his many parables. This volume ends on the threshold of His final journey...
The third volume then begins with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His final days in the Holy City, His Passion and Death, and His glorious Resurrection and Ascension into heaven.
The narratives are constructed using the language of scripture, descriptions of the places visited, and questions for study at the end of each section. Each volume also includes maps, a glossary which provides pronunciations of the various words and places, and plentiful black and white illustrations modeled after the Gospel illustrations of Alexandre Bida (1813-1895), who spent many years of study in the Holy Land.

With the Church, Volume 2
With the Church, Volume 2
The Ascension to Advent
by Mother Mary Loyola
When writing the first volume of With the Church, Mother Loyola took care to focus on the "meat" of the Church Year. Bedridden and suffering one illness after another, she could not take for granted that she would finish both volumes. How grateful we are that God allowed her the time to complete not only this book, but another--her swan song, Trust.
While this volume focuses no less on what our Lord has done for us, it does so always in the context of the burning question: what have YOU done for HIM lately? This is perhaps the most personal and immediate of her writings, with many reflections showing her readiness for death and a remembrance of those who had played a significant part in her life, such as her early mentor, Fr. John Morris, Frank Sheed and Maisie Ward, both a driving force behind the Catholic Evidence Guild, and especially Fr. Herbert Thurston, her longtime friend and editor, who at the time was in the midst of his colossal revision of Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints--which no doubt explains why this is the only one of Mother Loyola's major works that does not list him as editor.

King of the Golden City

The King of the Golden City is an allegorical tale which has stood the test of time because of the beauty of its symbolism and the richness of its spiritual advice. Written for children yet beloved by all, the only complaint lodged against it has been that its main character is female, leaving many boys to feel that this tale is better suited for girls.

Written for children yet beloved by all, the only complaint lodged against it has been that its main character is female, leaving many boys to feel that this tale is better suited for girls.
Encouraged by the original French translators of this book, who created parallel editions for boys and girls, we have now remedied this single fault!
In this brand new edition adapted especially for boys, readers will find the tale of Dilectus and his friends every bit as charming and instructive as before--and now boys as well as girls will find it easy to become the hero of the story and make it their own!
