Marian Consecration for Children: Bringing Mary to Life in Young Hearts and Minds
French priest St. Louis de Montfort is well known for passionately advancing Marian devotion at the turn of the eighteenth century. Preaching with much love and affection for the Mother of God, de Monfort emphasises the importance of giving ourselves entirely to our Lord through the hands of His mother. In this most special and thoroughly researched book, Dr. Carrie Gress, Ph.D., invites her young readers together with their families to embark on a Marian consecration, a "wonderful family project", a 34-day pilgrimage, placing their hands in the hand of Our Lady as she leads them to Our Lord. With reference to the lives of the saints, the Gospels, and both contemporary and classic texts including The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Winnie the Pooh, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Gress explores the importance of virtue and the concept of Marian consecration in relation to living authentically with the Lord. Each day of the of the journey includes a short meditation, accompanying discussion questions, prayers, and fun thought-provoking facts. This book truly is a gem and makes a most beautiful gift.

The Thief Who Stole Heaven Children's Book by Raymond Arroyo
Raymond Arroyo's evocative new book will take its place in the pantheon of classics for Christian children. Majestically illustrated by Randy Gallegos, this inspiring story begins when the Holy Family is set upon by roadside thieves. Jesus is a young boy--and the lead bandit is the Bad Thief. His accomplice is a young man named Dismas, later the Good Thief. Remembering his own mother and family, Dismas is moved with compassion and persuades the leader to let the Holy Family go. He does not change his ways, but while on the cross many years later, Dismas is caught in the entrancing gaze of the Blessed Mother from under his own cross. He suddenly realizes that the man suffering horribly next to him was the captivating boy on that fateful day long ago. He instantly asks Jesus for forgiveness--and knowing exactly who he is, Jesus forgives Dismas, assuring him of Paradise that very day. "Wonder, in a child, is the beginning of worship," said a children's book publisher nearly a century ago. Author Arroyo, in one of the most beautiful Gospel-based children's stories ever written, makes St. Luke's fleeting mention of the Good Thief come alive for children under nine in an electrifying and tender tale of the meaning of forgiveness as Jesus practices it perfectly.
