My announcement - my new upcoming book!

Updated now with book cover image...

I am very excited to tell you that I have written a prayer book for women that will be released this fall by Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Company! This new book will be for ALL Catholic and Christian women. It's for single, married, mothers and Religious! It will be called A Catholic Woman's Book of Prayers. My other prayer book Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers went right on the Catholic best-sellers list when it was released. It has been a bestseller since it has been published and has had several re-prints already! It showed me that Catholic and Christian mothers really want this kind of inspirational prayer book. Many women from all around the world have told me that they refer to it often for inspiration and help throughout their busy days in raising their families. Many have given this book as a gift to spread the inspiration to their friends and family.

I have felt that we should have a prayer book such as the one I just described, but for ALL women in every stage of a woman's journey. So, with that inspiration, I have taken up the task to write this book and am excited to tell you that it will be released early fall of this year! I have woven thoughts and inspiration from my dear friend, Blessed Mother Teresa within the pages so that we can learn from her timeless wisdom. I've also included wisdom from other saints and saintly people to give women the lift and affirmation they need. I have quoted our late dear Holy Father Pope John Paul II quite a bit because he has always been a hero for women. I have found when giving my talks, retreats, and presentations, that women are often brought to tears when I remind them of their God-given dignity as women and when I quote from Pope John Paul II. Women need this so much in our day and age and I feel so blessed to be able to provide it to women by God's grace and the wonderful efforts of Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Company.

The book will look very lovely. I got a glimpse of the cover image work-in-progress. It will be a hard cover book and in a compact size (but longer than Catholic Prayer Book for Mothers) to easily stash in a purse, briefcase, or diaper bag and is brimming with many prayers, refections, verses, and aspirations. Most of the prayers are original. Traditional prayers are sprinkled throughout as well.

As soon as I get a copy of the cover image I will post it here for you to see as well as details about ordering, book signing events and more.

So, what do you think?!
