I’ve long been a supporter and reader of Carmen Marcoux’s Catholic novels Arms of Love and Surrender. Now she and her husband have written a book for the younger set and we’ve started selling them at RoL. See below for more details.

Carmen Marcouz, Catholic wife, mother of nine and author of Arms of Love and Surrender, has undertaken a new writing venture with her husband James. Together they have authored the first of a series of books aimed at the younger reader. Book One of the New Illustrated Catholic Children’s Series in titled The Parish Picnic, a heartwarming story about friendship, self-sacrifice and the love of Christ. Beautifully illustrated by their daughter Rebekah, The Parish Picnic is a celebration of our Catholic heritage and the life we share as the family of God.

RoL is having an introductory spring sale of The Parish Picnic. Normally $16.95, you can purchase the book for $13.95. (Shipping is $3 for one book. Free shipping for 2 or more books. Shipping can be combined with Carmen’s other titles.) For more details, a book preview or to order click here: http://revolutionoflove.com/marketplace/picnic.html. Check it out!

There is a great post on the Laodicea blog about the Little Sisters Disciples of the Lamb. What a beautiful witness of God’s love for all his precious creatures.

The Little Sisters Disciples of the Lamb are a contemplative community that enables girls with Down’s syndrome to respond to a religious vocation. (continue reading…)

Congrats to my sis-in-law Maria Rangel for the beautiful Madonna and Child she finished painting! This painting is now available as a high quality printed card. They make great Christmas cards and since they are blank inside they can be used year round. They also make a great gift. Wrap a bundle of cards in a pretty ribbon and add a nice pen to the bow and you have a great unique gift for a hostess, teacher, or Catholic friend.
The “Madonna and Child” cards are blank on the inside and approx 5″x7″ folded with envelopes. The cost is $2.50 each or bulk rate of $1.50 each for 10 or more. Shipping is $3 for orders below 10 cards and $5 for orders of 10 cards or more. Make checks payable to Maria Rangel. Orders can be mailed to 310 S. Jefferson St. #49A, Placentia, CA 92870.

I just placed my Christmas order for Mystic Monk Coffee. It’s a perfect gift! (Make sure to try their Christmas specialties: Christmas Blend and Jingle Bell Java!)

Mystic Monk Coffee is roasted by the Carmelite Monks, a Roman Catholic monastery in the silence and solitude of the Rocky Mountains of northern Wyoming. The monks live a hidden life of prayer and contemplation in the pursuit of God. The monastery is inundated with young men who seek to leave everything to pray for the world, in a tradition at least a thousand years old. It is the monks’ great joy and privilege to share the fruit of their life with you in every cup of Mystic Monk Coffee.

Matt over at Fallible Blogma.com (love the name!) has a great project in the works called Support A Catholic Speaker Month. Bloggers participate by being assigned a speaker then making a post about them. My speaker is Mr. Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League.

A leader in the pro-life movement, he currently serves as vice president of American Life League and concentrates his efforts on fighting Planned Parenthood – the nation’s largest abortion chain. A former Senior Engineer with the IBM Corporation, Jim has spent over 15 years working full time in the pro-life movement. His expertise comes from being in the streets in front of Planned Parenthood; addressing school boards, city councils, state legislators and members of Congress.

He will bring to your event a mixture of fact and wit, with a captivating speaking style that leaves audiences informed and motivated.
