Raising healthy, holy, Catholic children is no easy task. Rocking the Cradle Catholic uses humor and simple, everyday examples – from how to choose a godparent, to prioritizing your vocation and other ministry work, to teaching children about war – in order to guide parents in practical imitation of the Holy Family. Recognizing parents as the primary catechists and family as the domestic church. Rocking the Cradle Catholic is meant to offer encouragement while challenging Catholic parents to be even more committed to their vocation of marriage and family life. Each chapter includes questions for contemplation and action that can be used for personal prayer or within a group setting.

Have you heard of the Fairy Tale Novels?

I’m so excited that we’re able to bring you this amazing giveaway this month, just in time for Valentine’s Day (not that I need an excuse to rave about my favorite books, mind you).

So far, there are four books in the series (and I can’t be the only fan who’s waiting impatiently for the next one).  Here’s a bit about each of them:

The Shadow of the Bear

“One winter night as they sat at home, there came a knock at the door.” 
– Grimm

Once upon a time, in New York City, two girls meet a mysterious stranger, Bear, who comes to their door one winter night. 

Who is Bear? Is he a seemingly homeless young man who has an unusual love for literature and poetry? Or is he a thief who hangs with the local drug dealers? Has he befriended the girls for sinister purposes? For impulsive red-headed Rose, Bear becomes their only friend in a hostile city: to shy older sister Blanche, Bear means danger for their family. And what is Bear’s connection to the abandoned church next to their high school, and the unsolved murder of a Catholic priest?

As Bear slowly wins their trust, taking the girls on a surprise trip to the Met and helping Blanche go to her senior prom, Blanche begins to believe that this rough-edged stranger is hiding a heart of gold. And yet, as events unfold, even Rose must admit that Bear is keeping a dangerous secret from them.

A classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm comes to life as two very different sisters, timid Blanche and daring Rose, seek to discover Bear’s identity and secret mission in a suspenseful adventure that brings each of them face to face with their own weaknesses and possible death.

Read Chapter One of The Shadow of the Bear.

Black as Night

“… a girl as white as snow and red as blood with hair as black as night…”
– Grimm

Blanche Brier is alone for the summer in New York City, separated from her family.

And her summer job inadvertently brings her a jealous enemy and unsuspected terror.

She finds temporary shelter with seven friars, but it’s not clear to Blanche how she can escape the evil that’s stalking her.

After Bear and his brother, Ben (a.k.a. “Fish”), discover that Blanche is missing, they cut short their European trip and begin to scour New York City looking for Blanche.  But the same malevolence that is lurking over Blanche seems to be hunting them as well.

With the lively help of the seven friars, Blanche struggles to sort out the ominous and apparently disconnected events that continue to build until it seems that all hope is gone. 

Yet during this time, the desires of her heart are being clarified – and so are Bear’s.

A black night.  Honest faith.  Tested love.

Read Chapter One of Black as Night.

Waking Rose

“Once upon a time…” 
– Grimm

“I love him more than poetry… I love him more than song.”

Ever since he rescued her from Certain Death, Rose Brier has had a crush on Ben Denniston, otherwise known as Fish.

But Fish, struggling with problems of his own, thinks that Rose should go looking elsewhere for a knight in shining armor.

Trying to forget him, Rose goes to college, takes up with a sword-wielding band of brothers, and starts an investigation into her family’s past that proves increasingly mysterious.

Then a tragic accident occurs, and Fish, assisted by Rose’s new friends, finds himself drawn into a search through a tangle of revenge and corruption that might be threatening Rose’s very life.

The climax is a crucible of fear, fight, and fire that Fish must pass through to reach Rose and conquer his dragons.

Read Chapter One of Waking Rose.

The Midnight Dancers

Why live in the light, when the night seems so irresistible?

Rachel Durham, 18, is tired of her father and stepmother’s staid morality and pristine prosperity.

The summer of her senior year, she’s more than ready for a walk on the wild side, and the door opens – literally – when she and her eleven sisters (and stepsisters) discover a secret passageway out of their historic home on the Chesapeake Bay.

At night, boys in boats and a forbidden island beckon from the shore, and Rachel and her sisters jump aboard.

The night becomes Rachel’s true world, and her daytime life becomes a disposable mask.

Her puzzled father tries to tow his daughters back into line by enlisting the help of Paul, a med student with a seasonal job juggling at the town festival.

But Paul realizes that simply blocking the girls from their midnight parties isn’t going to solve the family’s problems.

So he embarks on a risky balancing act to gain the girls’ trust – and to make Rachel see that splitting her life between night and light is a dangerous dance.

Read Chapter One of The Midnight Dancers.

I raved about them over at my blog a while ago, but what inspired us to organize this giveaway was hearing about hard times for this favorite author of ours.

Regina Doman is a very special Catholic homeschooling mother, author, speaker, and editor at Sophia Institute Press.  Recently, her 6-year-old son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Unfortunately, her family’s current financial and insurance situation leaves little, if any, room to cover the projected ongoing costs of managing this illness.

Knowing what a supportive community this is, we want to ask you to help, first and foremost, with your prayers.

If you find that you need a gift for a birthday or a Valentine that’s sure to endear you to that avid reader in your life, would you consider purchasing one or more of her books?  It helps Regina’s family most if you buy them through her website, but they are also available from a variety of other booksellers.

We’re going to give away all four of the Fairy Tale Novels, one each to four lucky winners. Leave a comment by January 31, and we’ll randomly draw winners.

Here are other ways you can use your purchasing power to help Regina’s family:

• This month, Hillside Education’s Helping Those in Need page is focusing on Regina’s family. There are some good buys and people can help a struggling family at the same time. The links are small so you need to look closely for the links that say Handmade Items, Books Used, Books new, etc.
• Homeschool Connections will donate 50% of all live courses and $30 for every subscription (recorded courses). People can email homeschoolconnections@gmail.com to let them know to credit their enrollment or subscription to Regina and her family.
• Ask your bookstore, library, youth group, homeschool group, school, and book club to consider buying Regina Doman’s Fairy Tale Novels.  I actually did this over the summer, and my librarian thanked me; it turns out they are always looking for good YA titles (and especially ones they can label Christian, in our area, though I wince when I hear that — these are books that DO NOT shove Christianity down your throat, though it’s so much a part of how they’re written).

Enter your name below and consider growing your library (or the library of someone you love) by purchasing the Fairy Tale Novels!

The contest is now closed. Thanks for your participation and generous response to this.

Congratulations to our winners:  Monica (comment #62), Barb Patterson (comment #61), Andrea J (comment #68), and Peggy Cortez (comment #6).

Alma Mater is a stirring and highly emotional collection of eight original pieces of modern classical music. The release is a true event, marking the very first time that the Voice of Pope Benedict XVI has been captured on disc, speaking and singing in Latin, Italian, Portuguese, French and German, thanks to the audio recordings of Vatican Radio.  Proceeds from the album sales will be used to provide music education for underprivileged children around the world.

The album will feature His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, reciting and singing passages and prayers, accompanied by The Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome, conducted by Monsignor Pablo Colino, Maestro Emeritus of St. Peter’s Basilica and recorded in St Peter’s Basilica. The world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays on all of the specially commissioned contemporary tracks, and was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London.

Simon Boswell, Stefano Mainetti and Nour Eddine are the three contemporary composers who have contributed the eight specially commissioned pieces of music for Alma Mater.   Vincent Messina, producer of Alma Mater, commented, “These three composers are world class and my first choices for the album.  A happy co-incidence is that Stefano is Catholic, Simon is ‘undeclared’ and Nour Eddine is Muslim, thus perfectly representing our aim to produce an album that has universal appeal to all of those who love beautiful music.”   Collectively, the trio of writers boasts an impressive resume of film scores, TV series and stage productions from around the world.

The CD is now available for purchase through Ignatius Press.  Additionally, if you would like to share this wonderful music with others, why not consider sending a lovely Alma Mater e-card here?  You can also download two songs from the CD by visiting this website.

To enter to win this contest, you must leave a comment on this post with a valid email address (which won’t be published or shared) before Midnight PST on December 22, 2009.  I’ll draw five random winners and announce the winners when the contest has ended.

Lolek – The Boy Who Became Pope John Paul II

The following is a brief description of this fantastic book:

Lolek is a celebration of the childhood of Pope John Paul II. He was a little boy who, despite tragedy and oppression in his young life during World War II, was a shining example for his peers and adults alike. Pope John Paul II was a world class freedom fighter, campaigning for world peace as a human rights advocate and defender of the oppressed. During his combat against world poverty, he taught that every life is precious no matter one’s nationality or religious belief, whether one is rich or poor, young or old. One of Lolek’s greatest achievements was the downfall of Communism in Europe. He encouraged people to feel their own power, and the power of faith led to the freedom of half a continent.

From its beginnings to now, CatholicMatch.com helps users to more easily form a relationship based on a commonality in faith, which God willing, can ultimately lead to a fulfilling marriage. By utilizing tools like the Catholic Match exclusive temperament test that is rooted in both natural law and gospel values (instead of scientific fact or new age philosophy), members are provided the opportunity for self-evaluation, in addition to more deeply learning about a potential spouse. Rather than placing someone in a static personality box, this test allows users to understand the temperament God gave them and their future spouse, while leaving room for sacramental grace to impact both behavior and spiritual maturity.

This month, one lucky reader will win a three month subscription to this amazing Catholic resource.  This prize may be transferred to any other person as a gift or used by the winner, as long as the prize recipient is not currently a CatholicMatch.com subscriber.  Current subscribers are not eligible to win this prize.  Additionally, the prize must be redeemed within seven days of reciept.

Imagine giving a dear friend the gift of helping him or her discover their future spouse, or using CatholicMatch.com yourself to widen your social network and meet new friends who share your faith and values!  We all know someone in our lives who is seeking that “someone special” – why not take the opportunity to win this prize and help that person (or yourself) find their perfect Catholic Match?!

Indianapolis, IN, April 16, 2009 – This past Easter Sunday, a new Catholic toy line announced its character development contest. Seeking inspirational ideas from Catholic families and classrooms across the country, parents, schools and parishes are asked to submit naming ideas and characteristics for the Wee Believers® family.


Wee Believers® Catholic Toy Company officially launched their product line this past December with their flagship toy, My Mass Kit. Their mission is to enkindle the fire of faith in families and they accomplish this by offering a range of playful, innovative and high quality products that are authentically Catholic and which will inspire both child and adult to know, love and serve God.

The Our Family Tree Contest is just one of many activities the company plans to offer to add interest and creativity to faith-enrichment time at home and at school. The contest is not open to individuals and is intentionally designed for families and student groups. Entrants are asked to contribute creatively to the personalities and stories behind the family characters in the Wee Believers® toy line. As additional dolls, toys, and sacramental gifts become available, the faces and stories of the Wee Believers® characters will become known by families, educators and children everywhere. Wee Believers® is looking for engaging and faith-filled ideas on where the family lives, where they go to school and what their favorite prayers are.

“This is a fun and easy way for families and classrooms to participate in building the identities and backgrounds of our fun new family of characters. Wee Believers® is committed to creating both exciting products and interesting activities such as Our Family Tree Contest to benefit teachers in their classrooms and parents in their homes,” says Co-Founder Steve Abdalla. “We are looking forward to the many great submissions we will receive.”

The Wee Believers® family includes a Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Toddler and Baby.

The contest runs through Pentecost Sunday, May 31, 2009. Prizes are being sponsored by Wee Believers® and other child-minded Catholic companies such as Magnifikids® and the Great Adventure for Kids program. Winners will be selected based on creativity and faithfulness to the mission of the Wee Believers® Toy Line.

All families and classrooms are encouraged visit www.WeeBelievers.com for more information on the contest, rules and regulations, and to submit entries.

Deacon Tom Fox shares a refreshing Lenten reflection this week entitled “Donuts during Lent”.
