Outside the mire of our day's confusion concerning the relation between the sexes stands the beauty of the Christian conception of manhood and womanhood. As Catholics, we can combat the multifaceted plague, especially represented by the spread of anti-Christian gender ideology, only when we ourselves live up to our dignity as men and women: as created in the image and likeness of God. A most important frontier of that battle is in family life, beginning with its preparation. The Catholic Girl's Guide is the perfect companion for teenage and young adult women determined to blossom in Catholic integrity and piety. The inspiring exhortations and instructions along with the edifying prayers contained in this guide are designed to assist the formation of girls in order to assist in deciding upon their calling. Common and essential to the married, unmarried and religious state is walking the path of virtue and sanctity. A perfect gift for loved ones and especially for young families, the practical counsel in The Catholic Girl's Guide is vital for forming the next generation of women ready to give witness to the beauty and nobility Catholic virtue.

Excerpt from The Catholic Girl's Guide: Counsels and Devotions for Girls in the Ordinary Walks of Life, and in Particular for the Children of Mary A threefold word of warning addressed to the youthful reader yet remains to be added: I. Do not, my dear child, select from the Spiritual aliments here offered you only the dainty morsels, the attractive sweetmeats; that is to say, do not read merely the stories, anecdotes, or verses, but peruse the whole thoughtfully and attentively, each Chapter, each instruction in turn, and apply what you have read to yourself, not to others.

Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith

The members of the Little Flowers Girls Clubs are sure to recognize the Maiden's Wreath of Virtues in this classic, on which their flower badges were based. Father Lasance explores in depth the virtues of the Catholic Girl, as personified by various flowers, with particular attention to that most precious possession: the lily of purity. However, this book goes far beyond simple lessons in virtue; it is truly a manual for the Catholic young lady from the middle years up to-and including-married life. Like its companion volume, "The Young Man's Guide," the original book contained hundreds of pages of prayers, devotions, litanies and even a Latin Missal. Select prayers from this section have been placed at the end of each chapter and the rest have been omitted in order to make this valuable book available in a more portable and affordable format for today's Catholic girl. Due to this fact, this volume is considered abridged; however, all material contained in this edition is unchanged based on the original 1906 edition by Benziger Brothers. Beautifully illustrated with 17th century botanical engravings and Victorian art, this book is sure to be a cherished keepsake.
