Today I will be giving away a book that is near and dear to my heart.
The Handbook for Catholic Moms: Nurturing Your Heart , Mind , Body and Soul is a beautiful resource for moms at every stage of mothering. Lisa was kind enough to ask me to contribute a sidebar about parenting a special needs child and I am so honored to be included in this wonderful book.
Seriously, you are going to love it.
Here's the blurb:
Drawing from the deep tradition of the Catholic faith, Lisa Hendey
coaches Catholic moms in how to care for themselves—heart, mind, body,
and soul—so that they can better love and care for their families, their
neighbors, and their Church.
With warmth and wisdom, Hendey creates an environment where Catholic
moms can reflect peacefully upon often-competitive topics like parenting
style, types of schooling, and working outside the home. By sharing her
own story, Hendey inspires readers to better balance their own needs
with the demands of family life and faith commitment.
Lisa shares stories from her personal life as a wife and mother, as
well as stories contributed by Catholic moms and families from around
the country. Each chapter of The Handbook for Catholic Moms
contains relevant scripture passages, Church doctrine, and quotes from
the lives of the saints. Noted Catholics such as Danielle Bean, Father
James Martin, Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle and Phil Lenahan contribute
their expertise and wisdom to make this a tremendous resource for
Catholic mothers. "Mom's Homework" reflections at the conclusion of
every chapter help the reader apply the book's principles to her real
world challenges as a Catholic Mom.
Leave a comment in this post if you would like to receive a copy of this book. I promise you will feel like you've had a retreat with loving friends when you finish it.

Mary Ellen,
I was delighted to see your book giveaway, because Lisa’s book will be the May selection for the new Catholic Post Book Group, an online blog I moderate for Peoria Diocese’s Catholic newspaper. I’d love for people to visit and join in the discussion. This month’s book is Treasure in Clay, the autobiography of Fulton Sheen.

Last week I had the honor of getting to visit with and interview Lisa Hendey when she was on her “Midwest Tour;” what a treat! That interview and my review of “Handbook for Catholic Moms” will be on the blog next month.
Obviously I don’t need to be entered into the drawing but I share your enthusiasm for the book and its spirit of encouragement for all moms. And I loved your part in it, too!

This is probably right up the alley of “What Feisty needs, besides winning the really big pot of money in the lottery”
Three years ago I did a CRHP weekend and spent the next 6 months in formation to present the weekend to the next group of women. I don’t plan to take another weekend anytime soon, but I do need to get my head back in a sunnier place vs the unsunny one it is now.
Thank you for hosting this fun week! This book looks wonderful!
