      <image:title>Welcome - It is my pleasure to meet you!</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a Catholic wife, mother to four, author, and Classical Educator based out of the great state of Minnesota. Growing up Baptist, I always had a deep love for the Lord, a love that blossomed as I learned more and more about His establishment of the Catholic Church. I enjoy sharing the story of my conversion to Catholicism, blending my identity as a Biracial American Woman with my identity as a Catholic Woman, how each and every person is created in the image and likeness of God and how we are called to be image-bearers, defining and living out your Christian Values, and the unique roles that God designed for women in His Catholic Church.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Ave Prayer Book for Catholic Mothers is your go-to resource to find the perfect words to lift up in prayer for almost any occasion or need. This beautiful, full-color, hardcover book includes a collection of original and traditional prayers and reflections from dozens of moms just like you. You might need “A Kitchen Sink Offering,” “The Nine Annoying Things Novena,” “The Rosary for Warriors,” or “A Birthday Prayer.” Or you might want to read about more traditional prayers such as the Angelus, the Jesus Prayer, or the Memorare. Karianna Frey is one of the contributing authors to this new addition to your prayer life! “With so many contributors from different life perspectives, the beautiful diversity of Catholic motherhood really shines through the pages of this book. Each contributor shares from her heart about a personal experience of prayer and the end result is both a joyful celebration of the faith we all share in common and an inspiring look at the beautiful ways that Catholic moms are different.” Danielle Bean Brand manager of CatholicMom.com Book description courtesy of Ave Maria Press</image:caption>

      <image:title>Welcome - Grow Closer to God every Morning!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Strengthen your connection to the Lord by creating a daily habit of Biblical reading. Perfect for any morning routine, these 90 devotions will encourage you to start every day grounded in the Lord’s Word, letting His wisdom guide you through whatever challenges you’ll face. What sets this daily devotional apart: A focused approach—Go on a three-month journey that will leave you feeling more connected to your faith and sure of the fact that God is there to help you each day. Practical, faith-based guidance—From dealing with stress to being honest with yourself, you’ll learn how to lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life through God’s Word. Words into deeds—Put what you’ve learned into practice with daily actions that help you channel God’s teachings and better embody His love. Live your faith every day with this standout choice among daily devotionals. “I love the simplicity of this devotional. Often, devotionals can feel like a task to accomplish, rather than a journey to deepen our intimacy with God. In The 90-Day Morning Devotional, Karianna gently extends the invitation to readers in joining her as she shares profound reflections on Scripture. She allows readers the grace to read the devotional at their own pace, with no strict schedule to keep (and later feel guilty if we miss a day).” —WS Griffith, @OkCatholics “This book is a lovely, Scripture-centered dive into the daily practice of meditation and reflection. Well and thoughtfully written, this will develop the reader’s habit of daily prayer anchored on the Word of God. Excellent reflections and meaningful takeaways to chew on throughout the day. Perfect way to get into the habit of daily spiritual reading and prayer time!” -LMGM, Verified Amazon Review</image:caption>

      <image:title>Welcome - We all have a need to belong.</image:title>
      <image:caption>We Are Beloved offers thirty days of brief morning meditations, mantras for use throughout the day, and night prayers to focus your thoughts at the day’s end. This simple book is the perfect prayer companion for busy people who want to root their spiritual practice in Bowman’s vibrant vision of joy in unity. Reflecting perceptively on the dignity of all people, Bowman also encourages you to root out sources of division in your life and calls you to continual conversion. Drawing from selections from over four decades of St. Thea’s writing, speeches, reflections, interviews, and presentations, We are Beloved offers you a personal 30-day retreat to take on your own terms and at your own pace. “This little devotional was such a godsend. Sitting with the wisdom of the great Sr. Thea Bowman refreshed and renewed me each day because it was such a simple way to pray alongside a spiritual master and to take time to reconnect to God at each point throughout my day. I'm so grateful for the time I spent with this book!” Shannon Wimp Schmidt Cohost of Plaid Skirts &amp; Basic Black podcast Book Description courtesy of Ave Maria Press</image:caption>
