1) Brother Rafael and the Rainy-Day Devils – WOW, this book is so relatable for parents! I know that this is a kids book, but I absolutely love it! Brother Rafael illustrates how we encounter spiritual warfare in our everyday lives. It’s not a scary book, but it does show the reality of letting temptations affect our thoughts and moods. It was over the head of my little 3 year old, but I think the bigger kids would like it. This book teaches us how to fight battles for God even when we are little. (10% off with code HEATHER10)
2) The Snail and the King – At first I was not sure where this book was going, but once I understood the message, I loved it! The Snail and the King reminded me of Narnia but for younger children around 4-10 years old. It is a story about a snail that is trying to get to a boat that will get him to the king’s castle (heaven), and along the hard road a dove (Holy Spirit) helps him to get there on time. I really liked this story and so did my children!
3) Go and Fear Nothing – This wonderful story is about Sister Adeles Brise and Our Lady of Champion. Mary appeared to Adele in Wisconsin in 1859. Mary gave her a message that is still important for today’s time. I truly enjoyed this story and was glad to hear that the Church has approved this apparition!
4) The Adventures of Loupio – This was a adventure that my son Zachary (age 8) enjoyed! Fun to read and teaches virtue at the same time! 10% off with code HEATHER10
