With the holiday season approaching, most of us are thinking about gifts for our friends and families, but today I’d like to invite you to give two gifts to yourself or the special women in your life.
The gifts I have in mind are two wonderful new books, both written by my good friend Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle and now available through Circle Press.
The Domestic Church: Room by Room is a lovely study guide for mothers that’s perfect for either group or individual use. It offers a “room by room” look at the role of spiritual parenting based in the precepts of the Church.
Grace Cafe is the “cookbook” we each wish we had for living life as a Catholic wife and mother - a realistic, yet very prayerful guide towards living out our vocation. I was blessed to write the Foreword for this book and have been so impacted by Donna-Marie’s work that I will be sharing this book as a gift for several of my friends this Christmas.
Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle’s books are always firmly rooted in Catholic doctrine and filled with references from the Catechism, scripture and papal encyclicals. And yet, Donna-Marie has a true knack for helping this sometimes heady material seem both relevant and accessible. When you read these two books, you will be both edified and inspired - I can hear Donna-Marie’s soothing voice and uplifting words like a warm hug from a special friend in both books.
And just in case you’re feeling guilty about buying yourself these books or love them so much you want to share them with a friend, Circle Press has a special gift for you! Faith and Family Live! readers qualify for a special discount at Circle Press. Use the promo code FFLive1108 to get 25% off all purchases (with the exception of the Tidings of Joy CD, which is a donation to seminarians) from Circle Press.
This offer is not to be combined with any other special offers and is good through November 30, 2008.

Lisa, How funny that you post these today...my copies just arrived yesterday & I cannot wait to get my hands on them & start reading! I just LOVE all of Donna Marie’s books (yes, I have them all) and I know that these are going to be wonderful additions to my Catholic mothering collection. Perfect for Advent, too, as we slow our schooling & enjoy more quiet time here at home...maybe I can read during the baby’s nap instead of work on math w/the older kids! ; )

Mary, you are going to love both of them! Let me know what you think after you have time to explore them a bit. Here’s to quiet time during Advent!
