Book Giveaway w/ Sophia Institute Press!

In which I partner with Sophia Institute Press to give away some amazing books!

Sophia Institute Press has a wonderful selection of books that are great for any time of year. I was thrilled when they sent me their 2024 Gift Guide and asked if I’d like to do a giveaway for my subscribers.

Winners of the giveaway will receive a copy of the following five books- great for gifting to others, or for keeping to enjoy with your family!

This Book Giveaway Includes:

Weird Catholic Handbook by Michael Lichens:

From Catholic saints who faced mythical monsters to the eerie beauty of bone chapels, this unique book uncovers the spiritual and historical significance behind these oddities. With a blend of scholarly research and engaging storytelling, Lichens brings to life the dusty relics, ghostly encounters, and unusual miracles that have been part of the rich tapestry of faith and culture.

The Melody of Love by Janine Rainwater: 

Ideal for parents, grandparents, and loved ones, The Melody of Love is a heartwarming addition to any children’s book collection. Let this story inspire a sense of wonder and the assurance of being unconditionally loved.

Building a Wholesome Family in a Broken World by Amb. Eduard Habsburg:

As you discover inspiring paragons of loving marriages in the Habsburg family history, you will find concrete ways to nurture and educate your children to be truly happy in a world in which wholesome family life has become countercultural. As this scion of one of the great Catholic families in Western history reminds us, “This is the way!”

Superhabits: by Dr. Andrew Abela:

Dr. Abela equips readers with the tools needed to embrace the lifelong pursuit of self-improvement to attain a life of greater ease, joy, and strength.

Christmas in Heaven by Anthony DeStefano:

This is such a timeless addition to your Christmas traditions.  This beautiful little book will give children an unforgettable vision of Heaven while strengthening in them the theological virtue of hope — a hope that will assist them throughout their lives in dealing with fear, grief, pain, and suffering.

My Children’s Books

I write middle grade novels! My three books are currently published with Penguin Random House. While I’m published in the secular market, all of my stories are deeply informed and inspired by my Catholic faith. They are a good fit for kids 8 and up who can navigate some suspense/spookiness.

Titles:

The Circus of Stolen Dreams
The Edge of In Between (A Catholic & CS Lewis inspired retelling of The Secret Garden)
The Night Train (features a Catholic sidekick/friend)
