Stand Firm Be Strong

But this book is different: it includes daily reflections that comprise both Scripture and saint quotes along with a relevant meditation meant to jump-start and strengthen a man’s spiritual life over the course of six months.

The timely wisdom of this book will help you cultivate virtue and root out vice, preparing you to:
*Put on the armor of God for the daily struggle and withstand trials at home and at work
*Imitate Christ in guarding your senses and responding to temptation
*Develop greater trust in God and His mercy
*Fulfill your duties with diligence and balance while serving God and others
*Kindle your prayer life, better utilize your talents, and order your priorities
*Draw more from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Fr. Menezes also incorporates key traditional prayers and litanies for weekly devotions and provides helpful cross-references for personal and group use. This daily spiritual manual will help you grow in knowledge of your faith and gain strength for spiritual battle to more fully become the man you were created and called to be.

Roxy The Ritzy Camel
Read moreBestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy’s journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she’s heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share–or even give away–what she possesses.

Listen To Your Blessed Mother
Read moreMary, the mother of Jesus, is recorded minimally in Scripture.
