 | "How to Raise Good Catholic Children is the most amazing combination of experience, common sense, and down-to-earth sanctity that has yet been printed."
Sister Mary de Lourdes |
How to Raise Good Catholic Children is a wise and readable book on child care that derives its wisdom from the Catholic home rather than from psychologists.
Author Mary Reed Newland draws on her own experiences as the mother of seven to show how the classic Christian principles of sanctity can be translated into terms easily applied to children -- even to the very young.
Because it's rooted in experience -- not in theory -- nothing that Mrs. Newland suggests is impossible or extraordinary.
In fact, as you reflect on your experiences with your own children, you'll quickly agree that here is an excellent commonsense approach to raising good Catholic children.
Let Mrs. Newland show you how to introduce even your littlest ones to God and develop in your growing children virtues such as:
* Genuine love of the Rosary;
* A sense of the dignity of work;
* Devotion to Mary and the saint;
* A proper love for the things of this world and for the things of Heaven;
* Attentiveness at Mass;
* Love for the Eucharist;
* An understanding and love of purity;
* The ability to make good confessions;
* And dozens of other skills, habits, and virtues that every good Catholic child needs!
"This book will reassure parents that, with faith in God's love and grace, they are as well-fitted for the rearing of saints as were the parents of saints."
