“How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul”
For those Catholic singles recovering from the Valentine’s blues, here’s a new book you may be interested in – How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul. It is authored by the incredible couple/ chastity speakers Jason and Crystalina Evert. (I love these guys! See their past interview at RoL here.)
Here’s the book description:
In your quest for love, don’t lose yourself along the way.
While navigating through the dating scene, every woman begins to wonder:
* How do I know when a guy really loves me?
* Am I being too picky?
* Do I even deserve love?
* Is my relationship worth keeping?
* Is love worth the risk?
* Are any decent guys left?
Single women often feel left alone to find answers to their deep questions about love and intimacy. Some hang out and hook up, hoping for love. Others are afraid even to hope. At some point, every woman needs reassurance that she–and her standards–are not the problem. In How to Find Your Soulmate without Losing Your Soul, you’ll discover twenty-one strategies to help you raise the bar, instead of sitting at it, waiting around for Mr. Wonderful.
Isn’t it time that you discovered a love that helps you to become yourself?

New Children’s Book: The Parish Picnic
Carmen Marcoux, the amazing wife, mother and author of Arms of Love and Surrender has co-written a children’s book with her husband James. The outstanding illustrations were hand-painted by their talented daughter Rebekah. This was truly a family project created with a lot of love and hard work! But it all paid off because the end result is a beautiful and heartwarming story of love and self-sacrifice through the eyes of a child.
You can read it online before you purchase it. I am hoping to start selling them here at RoL but in the meantime, you can order them directly from Carmen at One Way Publishing. Here are more details.

Summer Reading: Dimiter
A couple weeks ago Brian and I were watching EWTN’s World Over and William Peter Blatty (who wrote The Exorcist) was on talking about his new book Dimiter. It sounded like a great mystery read so I ordered it for Brian’s birthday. (His “wish list” was books and Mystic Monk coffee. There’s a shocker!) It arrived today and I was thumbing through it. Looks good! I’ll let you know what he thinks after he reads it and passes it on to me.
Also, here’s the clip of Blatty’s interview.
