Will You Bless Me?

Order Now

An innocent sneeze from young Anna — and her father’s casual “Bless You” response — lead to a memorable discovery about true blessing. On the way to their discovery, father and daughter read a story about the boyhood life of Jesus, as He joyfully experiences a blessing, while asking His mother to tell the story of His birth.

"A delightful and beautifully illustrated book that helps parents teach their children about a blessing and why it is important. Taking its cure from the Blessed Mother, the author skillfully interweaves the story with the Christmas story from Mary's perspective. This book will make a wonderful gift any time of the year -- for children from their parents, grandparents, godparents...for teachers to read to their class. Spread the word!"

"When this book first landed on my desk, I got lost for a good 30 minutes reading it. It's laid out in an easy to read, plain English, question-and-answer format that's so inviting, it was extremely hard to put down. The questions are great and applicable to any Catholic or would-be Catholic interested in getting into the nitty gritty of the Catholic Church and our Faith."

"The setting is Rwanda, amidst the killing of over a million of its citizens during a three-month period. Generations were wiped off the face of the earth in mere moments. But this story is about forgiveness, and the amazing faith that one woman had during this tragedy -- how her relentless conversation with God kept her, and others near her, alive in the constant face of death. The story is compelling, and you won't be able to put this book down. The lessons of faith, hope, love and forgiveness will remain with you. This is a book that you'll want to immediately share with others, because the message is too good to just read about."

 - Helen Fountain

Left to Tell - Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust

In the spring of 1994, more than one million people were murdered in the Rwandan genocide. This is the story of how Immaculee, 22 years old,  survived certain death, along with seven other women, by hiding in a very small bathroom for more than 3 months. Day after day, for months, the killers would search nearby – gleefully chanting “kill them big, kill them small, kill them, kill them, kill them all!” With uncommon sincerity, Immaculee shares with us her soul's struggle through disbelief to anger and rage and, ultimately, forgiveness. She is living proof of the power of prayer and positive thinking.

Her story will touch you deeply. You will feel her fear, you will cry, and you will ask yourself the same questions that we as a people have been asking forever: How could this happen? Where does such animosity come from? Why can't we just be like God, Who is the Source for all of us? But you will also feel something else most profoundly: You will feel hope, a hope that inch by inch, we as a people are moving toward a new alignment—that is, we're moving toward living God-realized lives.

This book includes 16 pages of full color pictures. 

Immaculee currently lives in New York City with her husband and two children. She works for the United Nations Development Program.

"When I first saw this video, I noticed how everyone in the viewing audience (including me) were incredibly moved by what they saw. This short but extremely powerful video is a fantastic 'advertisement' for the beauty of the priesthood, and how important priests, in persona Christi, are to us. I highly recommended it for viewing in school, in the family, for teen groups, and all other organizations and ministries in the parish. It is an outstanding reminder that we should do everything we can to work toward increasing vocations to the priesthood...through family experiences, prayer, encouraging our children (in home or in school) to learn about the beauty of the priesthood, and in many other ways. This video should be seen by all Catholics, and even non-Catholics!"

 - Helen Fountain

"Every time you play this game you say the rosary. Is there an easier way to learn the rosary? The game respects the reverence of the rosary while being geared for children as young as three, but anyone in need of learning the rosary will have fun playing Prayer Path. One of the best new games available!"

 - Nicholas Cole

Prayer Path Board Game

This game can be played with up to 10 players, or team up for more fun. Although reading is required, don't leave out the little ones - they enjoy having you read to them! They also love matching the colors and numbers. This game will teach young and old alike about 20 different events in the life of Jesus and Mary. They will also learn the 7 different prayers said throughout the rosary.

For those of you that need more of a challenge, we have included the scripture book and verse on the back of each card. The advanced player would have to not only answer the question but would have to know the Bible book and verse where the answer comes from. Easy to learn! Fun to play! Take the Journey today!
