The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life
In The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life, Edward and Beth Sri - national marriage speakers - show readers that the struggles of marriage are to be expected and, even more so, they are purifying us to make us saints. In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, God has an incredible vocation for all spouses. The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful goes into the nitty-gritty, explaining what to do when reality hits—when the rubber hits the road. From discussions about miscommunication, healing, intimacy, gifts, and more, Edward and Beth dive into new depths of the reality of Catholic marriage—from the messy to the beautiful.
Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place
In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, married couples Adam and Haylee Minihan and David and Pamela Niles share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made. Our relationship with God is not supposed to stay within the walls of our parish when we leave Sunday Mass. Instead, faith should transform our hearts, our families, and our homes into a welcoming place to encounter Christ.
She Loved
Be encouraged by a village of Catholic mothers with this collection of letters from mothers, to mothers. Mothers play a special role in reminding their children of God’s love. At the end of the day, though, mothers need to be reminded of God’s love for them just as much as their children do. With 15 authentic and vulnerable letters written by Catholic mothers to their younger selves, She Loved: Resting in the Beauty of Motherhood acts as a little community of older mothers who remind newer mothers of the peace and purpose they can find in motherhood. Following each part of 1 Corinthians 13:4–8, She Loved dives into all the ways mothers embody the love of Christ, love that is patient and kind.
Momnipotent: Finding Peace, Balance, & Joy in Your Vocation as a Mother
Is being a mother what you thought it would be? The exhaustion, monotony, mounting unfinished projects, a loss of a sense of self. Too many moms, especially young and new moms, do in fact feel disillusioned. Maybe you feel you’ve been sold a bill of goods, that success and happiness are not possible through the vocation to motherhood. Many moms quietly resign themselves to the idea that success, happiness, and fulfillment are things they will need to find in spite of motherhood, not because of it. In Momnipotent, Danielle Bean understands all this firsthand and meets women where they are. With great wit, wisdom, and compassion, she provides much-needed encouragement to all women and beautifully resonates with their feminine hearts. Study plans require a paid subscription, however this study plan is available to non-subscribing members for a limited time.
