Book Reviews
This book is a simple and beautiful tool to do so many important things: to tie generations together in love...to help them understand their lives through the lens of God's guiding hand, and to discover their purpose by letting themselves become gifts to others...
-Fr. John Bayer, O. Cist.
This journal is designed in such a way that it could easily become a treasured heirloom in your family. The authors offer thought-provoking questions which not only get to the heart of Catholicism and faith, but also open up a window into a mother's soul.
