I am very excited to announce that my first book, co-authored with my friend Emily Jaminet, will be available this February!

Divine Mercy for Moms: Sharing the Lessons of St. Faustina  nurtures the hearts of mothers with this gentle introduction to the life and spirituality of St. Faustina Kowalska, Pope John Paul II’s “Apostle of Mercy.” Combining classic Catholic spirituality with our personal experiences, the book shows busy moms how to receive and respond to Divine Mercy in their own lives, and to pass it on to others through word, deed, and prayer.

With heartwarming stories and practical advice, this book reveals that mercy is not just a gift to be grasped in the confessional, but a spiritual resource that strengthens us when we extend ourselves for the benefit of others in word, deed, and prayer. Designed for personal or group study, Divine Mercy for Moms . . .

• Introduces readers to the history of the Divine Mercy devotion,
• Explains five distinctive features of this devotion,
• Reveals mercy as a gift to be shared in word, deed, and prayer;
• Explores Divine Mercy in the practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy;
• Celebrates the role of Mary, Mother of Mercy in the lives of all believers.

The book also includes group study questions, prayers of mercy, and 30 introductory reflections.
