Lisa Hendey of CatholicMom.com has a new book coming out soon! Titled A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms, this book highlights “52 companions for your heart, mind, body and soul.”
But who’s among the 52? I can think of lots of possibilities. Not having seen this book before, I don’t know if Lisa Hendey chose to discuss only female saints, only saints who were moms, only modern saints…there are so many ways to go here.
I’m hoping, though, that she included a chapter on that go-to patroness of homemakers, St. Martha. I’ve got a soft spot for St. Martha, and I imagine that many moms feel the same. (I think Jesus did, too–or he wouldn’t have told her to get over it when her sister wasn’t helping with the dishes.)
This book will be published by Ave Maria Press on November 1 of this year. I’m looking forward to it!
Oh, yeah – good idea! I went with St. Anthony. I'm looking forward to the book as well.
Per the wise advice of my new principal, my blog, "View from the choir," is closing down. Thanks to everyone who has read it over the years!I'll still stop in here, though.
I've pre-ordered it . . . I can't wait to get it, too!
Barb, so fun to read your comments on my book – I can't tip you off as to whether or not you're right, but I do thank you so very much for sharing about my book. I hope you enjoy it!!
Well if Lisa hadn't already l left a comment, I woulda toldja. Ah, well, guess you have a month to wait. It's SO worth it,, though. Almost done with my 2nd pass. 🙂
