Saint Monica Club
If you have ever loved someone who left the Faith, you know the ache of wanting that person back at the table. When we feel this ache, the one intimately known to Saint Monica for years, we begin to learn how to love as God loves.
In this book, Maggie Green shows how you can faithfully follow the example of Saint Monica, whose prayers, tears, and witness eventually led to the conversion of both her husband and her son, Saint Augustine, Doctor of the Church. This isn’t a book on how to win your “prodigal” child back ?it’s a book on how to wait for them, how to be okay with planting the seeds and laboring in the vineyard without necessarily seeing the harvest. Read these pages, and you’ll come to see how the Holy Spirit is at work in each of us, calling us all home and encouraging our witness to each other.

Courage Of Faith
Read moreLiving a courageous life is not easy. It requires a person to find the balance between fearlessness and cowardice.

He shows that belief, promise, hope, love, responsibility, and thinking demand courage. Ostovich helps readers to reflect on their understandings of these topics by using the writings of philosophers from Plato to Hannah Arendt, Rene Descartes to Simone de Beauvoir.
