As we grow older,

we learn to deal with loss. The loss of health as we go through the aging process, the “loss” of children as they become adults and set their own course in life, and inevitably, the loss of family members and friends as we all face our own mortality. Last year, this sense of loss was particularly acute as we lost our dear friend and spiritual mentor, Father Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.

AlAN Napleton

For those of you who attended our 2017 show in Chicago, it was apparent that Father was ill. He had lost a great deal of weight and moved much more slowly. Yet despite this, his contagious smile remained, and he made himself available to everyone who approached him. His homilies were also just as rich as always.

They continued to be filled with the clear truth and teachings of our Catholic faith and were delivered with the love, charity, gentleness and humor that marked everything that Father did.

Although his illness was apparent this past year, there was also so much joy because 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of Father’s priestly ordination. It was also the centenary of the supernatural events that occurred at Fatima, the message of which he wrote and preached about so often. In fact, he had just returned from leading a pilgrimage to this great shrine in May, then here he was at the CMN just 2 months later in July, full of enthusiasm for the faith and the people of God. We spoke often, and although he mentioned his health struggles, he never alluded to the seriousness of his condition. Like many others, I simply assumed that this was only temporary and that he would “get better soon” after a period of rest and recuperation.

No words can adequately express the shock I felt when just a few months later, I received a call from the Friary, letting me know that Father was dying. In fact, he was already in hospice, and his Community was already making final preparations for the end.

By the grace of God, after a few attempts, I was able to have a last conversation with Father – one that I will always cherish.

He encouraged me, and all involved in the many apostolates and ministries that make up the CMN, to continue our good work. To hear this holy priest say that our mission was so important to Christ’s Church shook me to my core.

Sometimes, as we go through our day-to-day efforts to simply “keep the doors open,” it is easy to lose sight of why we all got into this work in the first place. But on that call, it became clear to me how important our efforts are, both to God and to His Church.

So, in Father’s memory, let’s continue with a newfound zeal for the Kingdom!

That’s what Father Andrew would have wanted.

God bless,

Al Napleton President, Catholic Marketing Network

Prayer Speaking of

W

hen speaking about prayer, it is all about you! But, isn’t prayer really about God? Well, you do pray to God, and it is God who responds to your prayers, but from your perspective, prayer is all about you. In fact, it can be said that prayer is you. Prayer doesn’t exist aside from the pray-er.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking: Oh God, I know I should be praying, but I don’t know where to begin…? Well, relax; you actually started praying! Prayer is what you just did: it is talking to God. Prayer is meant to create a relationship between God and us. Relationships don’t exist only in calamities and tragedies. That wouldn’t work with those we claim to love, and it doesn’t help in our relationship with God. The desire for prayer is embedded in our being. We were born to communicate.

As people involved in Catholic marketing, we have taken on a mission beyond our own best efforts and we need to enhance our human abilities by becoming people of prayer. For a bookseller, prayer can be the “extra clerk” on the floor. Prayer helps us discern even the unspoken needs of the person who might be “just looking.”

Beginning our day with a prayer keeps us engaged in our craft, but alert to the art of bookselling. It keeps foremost in our consciousness the reason we became a Christian bookseller in the first place. Blessed James Alberione, the founder of the Daughters of St. Paul, the religious congregation to which I belong, told the earliest sisters, “If I intended that you make money, I would have given you a different mission.” We all understand this, whether we are religious or lay persons, trying to make a go of a Christian book store. There is room for lots of wit, wisdom, and wonder in this business.

That is the natural intelligence, the graceenhanced spiritual sense, and then, there is wonder at God’s grace which prods us to encourage our customers, not only to read, but also to pray. Our art of bookselling is also our mission. Do not shrink from the inspiration to invite those who come to your store to pray. The Spirit directs many to your store for this very reason that they can be encouraged to pray. This can be accomplished with as little as a “God bless you”, and as much as offering to pray with them.You might even consider dedicating a corner to a “prayer chair”,

Sr. Mary Lea Hill, a member of the Daughters of St. Paul since 1964, was born and raised in the Boston area. She earned her degree in Moral Theology from St. Charles Graduate School of Theology in Philadelphia. Sister Lea has served her community in various leadership roles including local superior of the Alexandria, VA, Los Angeles, CA communities of Daughters of St. Paul and currently lives and serves in St. Louis, MO. An editor and author for Pauline Books and Media for many years, and a frequent speaker Sister has written several books including Prayer and You: Wit and Wisdom from a Crabby Mystic, Blessed Are the Stressed, and The Church Rocks.

or setting up a book for prayer intentions.

Designate a section of your shelf space to the subject of prayer to offer prayer books, study guides, teachings on prayer, and even aids to prayer. And most important of all, be prayer. Be the quiet power-house of prayer for your customers. Pray always, pray in every situation, pray for everyone.

Practicing your art well will attract God’s grace upon you and upon each person you serve.

If you could use a few suggestions on making prayer more authentically your own, may I refer you to my book, Prayer and You: Wit and Wisdom from a Crabby Mystic. The subtitle may also resonate with some of you: it speaks to where we are between our nature and God’s grace.

To entice you, here are a couple of chapter titles: Can a Swear Be a Prayer?, Ho-Hum Prayer, Home-Cooked Prayer, Bargain Basement Prayer, Praying the News.

Let prayer accompany the hours and events of your day. Wherever you are as a pray-er, let your true self do the talking. Speak to God from your heart, in your own words.

Strength in Numbers!

That adage is still as true today as the day it was coined. Pooling resources and working together with other Catholic stores has never been more important. As a Catholic store owner I have seen many changes in the past twenty-eight years. Most notably, when I started St. Raphael Bookstore in 1989 there was no internet. Like most major developments, the internet has been a mixed blessing for store owners. Over the past ten years we have seen a seismic shift in consumer shopping habits creating a crisis for all types of brick and mortar stores.

But before you fall into a “woe is me” spiral let me remind you that we are not just “stores with consumers,” we are evangelization centers working to win souls for Christ. We are points of light in a world that has been shrouded in the darkness of sin, sports and self-absorption.

Every Catholic store across our nation has the power to be an Incredible Catholic Store, whether your store is 500 square feet or 5000, whether you are in New York City or Small Town, USA. As long as your doors are open and you are ministering to God’s people you can be an Incredible Catholic Stores.

INCREDIBLE CATHOLIC STORE Have You Heard?

“Our national media campaign during Advent was a great success! The Incredible Catholic Store sponsored 105 radio advertisements over a 12 week period on 375 Catholic radio stations in 46 states including Alaska and Hawaii along with listeners on Sirius satellite radio.”

“During that time we had three national interviews with: Doug Keck, Al Kresta and Teresa Tomeo. Not bad for the first six months of existence. ” said Gaskell.

“I can’t wait for our Spring campaign.

We have plans to advertise on 500 Catholic radio stations across the country. We are just getting started!”

What makes an Incredible Catholic Store?

1) Relationships: We know our customers. We’ve rejoiced with them in their joys and hugged them in their grief. We have supported them with prayer and encouraged them with advice. We have become part of a big extended family. Websites don’t offer that. Kiosks, videos and webinars can’t do that. We are the hands and feet of Christ to each person that walks through our doors.

2) Availability: Our stores are open six days a week ten hours a day. How many people have walked into an Incredible Catholic Store that wouldn’t set foot in a church? Some groups talk about reaching the fallen away Catholics or the unchurched but Incredible Catholic Stores do it every day and have been doing it quietly for years. Incredible Catholic Stores are on the front lines of evangelization and catechesis.

3) Knowledge: We know the content of our books, videos and programs. We know what will

meet the need of any parish group: singles, divorced, grieving, engaged, newly married, families, elderly.....Who else knows the market as well as an Incredible Catholic Store buyer?

4) Commitment: Incredible Catholic Store owners have given their lives in the service of the

Lord. We are the experts in the field. We know our customers and parishes. We are available when they need us. We have the knowledge to steer them to the best resources for their need and best of all we are not bound by brand loyalty but by meeting the need of our customer as best we can.

Incredible Catholic Stores already possess what other organizations are trying to acquire. We are in every parish, every neighborhood, every Catholic diocese in the country. We have been quietly serving the Lord by serving his people for years. But let’s not be quiet any longer. Let’s tell our story. Let’s join together to remind our neighbors, our customers, our pastors of our unique gifts. Let’s tell the world about an Incredible Catholic Store just down the street, an Incredible Catholic Store across town, an Incredible Catholic Store that you own. Are you ready? A new wind is blowing. Join the Incredible Catholic Store movement!

Watch the powerpoint video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=4kw3m8d-nx8 or go to www.incrediblecatholic.com. The Incredible Catholic Store movement is working in conjunction with the Catholic Marketing Network.

Barbara Gaskell is the founder and director of St. Raphael Center, Inc. in Canton, Ohio. St. Raphael Center is a not-for-profit Catholic evangelization center that houses; St. Raphael Bookstore, Mary Ark of the Covenant Chapel, Msgr. Joseph Krispinsky Library, Visitation Room, outdoor Rosary Garden, Lourdes Grotto, and the studio and offices of the Living Bread Radio Network, an EWTN Catholic radio affiliate, founded

by Barbara in 2002.

“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts,” My Story: The Battle for Souls I am a foot soldier in the army of God. My name is Barbara and my mission is to win souls for Jesus Christ. My combat zone is a Catholic store in Canton, Ohio. Over 1000 combat zones similar to mine are scattered across the United States. I’ve been in this battle for almost thirty years and my elite team stands ready to meet the needs of every soul that enters our doors.

We are not in this battle alone. Everyday my squad is sustained by weapons, logistics and air support. Our weapons are Catholic authors who provide great content to enlighten minds and save souls. Logistics are provided by Catholic publishers/vendors who facilitate the dissemination of books, gifts, audio and video through various distribution channels and Catholic retail outlets.

And air support is given by Catholic radio and television programs which educate and encourage listeners to hear the word of God and act upon it.

But every army needs an effective plan, a synergistic strategy to win the war. Let’s take stock or our position.

Our Challenge: Fragmentation and lack of communication among the four groups listed. Lack of a cohesive strategy to accomplish our common goal; a need of synergy.

Proposed Solution: Implement a cohesive strategy of support for one another on a national level. Attain synergy.

Air Support - Catholic Radio/Television: Instruct every program host to encourage listeners

to “check your local store first” before promoting Amazon. Every listener already knows about Amazon! Post a calendar on the internet in advance of any interview of a Catholic author. This allows Catholic Retail to stock the item in advance.

Weapons - Catholic Authors: Be prepared during any interview to answer the question “Where can we get your book, CD or video?” Answer: Check your local Catholic store (or my personal website.) Practice this phrase until it becomes second nature. PLEASE don’t say …go to Amazon!

Logistics - Catholic Publisher/Suppliers: Post a calendar on the web listing upcoming radio or

television interviews of authors you publish. Post any local/national promotions you are running for your authors one month in advance. Post public appearances of your authors. List bestsellers. Give three key points why it is a bestseller and to what age group the item is best suited.

Foot Soldiers - Catholic Retailer: Be aware of trends in Catholic publishing. Check Catholic Radio and Catholic Publishers calendars in preparation for customer interest. Stock items ahead of customer interest. Work together with other Catholic Retailers pooling resources for national “advertising campaigns” twice a year on Catholic Radio.

expresses the basic meaning of synergy.

Can We Find Catholic Synergy?

There are four essential teams working in the Catholic arena today. These include: Catholic stores, Catholic publishers/vendors, Catholic authors and Catholic radio/television. The common goal: win souls for Jesus Christ. Each team has its’ strengths and weaknesses.

How can these teams work more closely together rather than independent of each other? Synergy.

Synergy is the benefit that results when two or more agents work together to achieve something neither one could have achieved on its own. It’s the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It’s the idea that contrary to what you learned; one plus one can equal three!

Synergy is often the goal in a business model. In management, synergies created between teams result in increased capacity and workflow that was not possible when the teams were working independently.

Synergy may be elusive, but it is one of the most important objectives in business. Acquiring synergy will result in better efficiency, higher productivity and more success.

Rosary Promoting the

in Catholic Stores

By Fr. Donald H. Calloway, MIC

I firmly believe the Jesus and Mary want you to be. It’s a bold statement, I know, but I’m convinced that Heaven is asking this of you.

As a Catholic retailer, you have a unique opportunity to respond to the request that Our Lady has been asking of us over the centuries. What do I mean specifically?

Well, in nearly all of the approved Marian apparitions that have occurred over the last several hundred years, Our Lady’s most frequent request is for us to return to prayer, especially the rosary. Mary knows what we need as our spiritual mother, and we need to listen to her.

Last year, as we celebrated the centennial of Fatima, I’m sure you noticed the many books written on the the rosary in honor of the Fatima anniversary. I authored two books on the rosary myself: How to Pray the Rosary and 26 Champions of the Rosary (both available through Marian Press).

In 2018, we are celebrating the 160th anniversary of the Marian apparitions in Lourdes, France (1858-2018). In Lourdes, Mary not only came with the rosary in her hands, she also prayed parts of it with St. Bernadette. There can be no greater endorsement for the rosary than when the Mother of God herself gives the example of praying it!

What has all this got to do with you and your Catholic store? It’s simple. By prominently featuring the rosary and books about the rosary in your displays, advertisements, and interactions with customers, you can heed the incessant requests of Our Lady and become a champion of the rosary! You can make Our Lady very happy by doing this!

Here’s an added incentive for championing the rosary: You are guaranteed to be blessed

by Our Lady! According to tradition, Mary gave 15 promises to those who pray and promote the rosary. One of those promises states: “Those who propagate my rosary will be aided by me in all their necessities.”

What a promise!

You don’t have to be a nun or a priest to do this, either. The world’s largest Marian organization was not started by a priest or a nun, but by an ordinary layman. His name is Frank Duff and he founded the Legion of Mary. Guess what he made a major part of the Legion of Mary’s spirituality? Yep, the rosary!

Are You a Champion of the Rosary?

Frank Duff is now on his way to sainthood and is one of the 26 champions of the rosary. Might you be number 27?

Fr. Calloway is the Vicar Provincial & Vocation Director for the Marian Fathers. He lives in Steubenville, Ohio.

Fr. Donald H. Calloway, MIC, a convert to Catholicism, is a member of the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception. Before his conversion to Catholicism, he was a high school dropout who had been kicked out of a foreign country, institutionalized twice, and thrown in jail multiple times. After his radical conversion he earned a B.A. in Philosophy and Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, M.Div. and S.T.B. degrees from the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC, and an S.T.L. in Mariology from the International Marian Research Institute in Dayton, Ohio. His favorite saint is the Blessed Virgin Mary and his passion is the rosary. He has authored numerous books on the rosary, including 26 Champions of the Rosary and How to Pray the Rosary.

INSPIRING TALES OF HOPE, JOY & PEACE

◆ HUMILITY RULES

◆ LEONIE MARTIN A Difficult Life

◆ CONFESSIONS OF A TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC

Fr. Augustine Wetta, O.S.B ith candor, humor, and a unique approach to classical art, Fr. Wetta breaks down St. Benedict’s famous guide to humility into twelve pithy steps for finding true inner peace that can be applied to anyone’s life in today’s over-stressed culture. He explains every step, illustrating each with color reproductions of sacred art he has embellished with comic flourishes. The winsome combination is sure to keep readers from taking themselves too seriously—a first step on the path to humility.

Marie Baudouin-Croix éonie was one of the five daughters of Saints Zélie & Louis Martin, and a sister of Saint Thérèse. She was an emotionally disturbed child who suffered and caused much anguish in her family.Yet despite the difficulties in her life, by the time of her death in 1941 she was regarded as a saint and her convent has been inundated with letters testifying to her posthumous intercessory aid.

This book shows how Leonie practiced the “Little Way” so deeply that the cause for her sainthood was opened by the Church.

“This book could not be more perfect. The author shares with C. S. Lewis his rare talent of turning profound thought into language ordinary people understand. Many have tried to do as Lewis did, but Fr Wetta is the most successful.”

—Walter Hooper, Literary Adviser to the Estate of C. S. Lewis

“An essential read for anyone with a devotion to St. Therese or interest in the science of the saints. It shows that problematic behavior in children can happen in any family, and our imperfections can be a part of our journey to sanctity. A deeply moving book.”

—Sally Read, Author, Night’s Bright Darkness

“This fun and insightful look at the Rule of St. Benedict brings ageless wisdom to everyday life.”

—Joanna Weaver, Author, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World

“For those seeking sanctity amidst life’s struggles, Léonie Martin is a gift that helps us to apply the Little Way when the way we must travel is less than perfect.”

St. Benedict’s 12-Step Guide to Genuine Self Esteem

W

Matthew Arnold nswers many questions about Catholic Traditionalism in this moving personal account, revealing how a faithful Catholic’s desire for a reverent liturgy led him to tolerate the Holy Mass celebrated validly, but illicitly. His compelling testimony also explores how the licit celebration of the Extraordinary Form — the Traditional Latin Mass — can have a positive impact on the life and the liturgy of the Church. This candid book exposes the spiritual peril at the heart of radical Traditionalism while remaining compassionate toward the legitimate aspirations of Traditional Catholics.

CONNECTING

Science, Faith & Reason ◆ FIVE PROOFS OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD — Edward Feser

A

detailed, updated exposition and defense of five of the historically most important, but in recent years largely neglected, philosophical proofs of God’s existence: the Aristotelian, the Neo-Platonic, the Augustinian, the Thomistic, and the Rationalist. It also offers a thorough treatment of each of the key divine attributes, showing that they must be possessed by the God whose existence is demonstrated by the proofs. Finally, it answers all of the objections that have been leveled against these proofs, providing the most complete defense of traditional natural theology in print.

FPEGP . . . Sewn Softcover, $19.95

“A watershed book. Feser has completely severed the intellectual legs upon which modern atheism had hoped to stand.” — Matthew Levering, Ph.D., Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary

◆ THE IMMORTAL IN YOU How Human Nature is More Than Science Can Say — Michael Augros

M

any scientists and philosophers believe that we are no more than a machine. There is no afterlife and our existence is purely the outcome of chance events. The core of this belief is a philosophical assumption that modern science tells all there is to know about us and the world.

With cogency and clarity, Augros exposes that assumption to the light and demolishes it. He shows how an astute use of common sense and our common human experience reveal there is much more to us than science could possibly say.

IIYP . . . Sewn Softcover, $18.95 “Far and away the best book I have ever read about the nature of mankind. On a scale of 1 to 10, I have to give it a 12.”

— Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Boston College

◆ GALILEO REVISTED — Dom Paschal Scotti

G

alileo is the name often invoked by those who say science and religion are in opposition. But is that really the lesson to be drawn from the life of Galileo? No other work has brought together such a complete description of the historical context of the controversies surrounding Galileo in its political, cultural, philosophical, religious, scientific and personal aspects like this volume. In addition to covering the whole of Galileo’s life, as well as his condemnation by the Inquisition in 1633, this book also includes a full historical discussion of the relationship between religion and science.

GAREP . . . Sewn Softcover, $18.95

“Prof. Scotti’s richly detailed book brings that vibrant world to life and helps us to understand those fateful events as they happened and were understood at the time by those who took part.”

— Stephen Barr, Ph.D., Professor of Physics, University of Delaware

◆ THE CASE FOR CATHOLICISM — Trent Horn

T

he most up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough defense of the Catholic Church against Protestant objections in print, especially relevant for the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. It answers arguments put forward by early Reformers as well as contemporary defenders of Protestantism. It provides a meticulous defense of the biblical and historical nature of Catholic doctrines from Scripture and church history. In answering Protestant objections to Catholicism and in providing evidence for the Faith, it cites modern Protestant scholars who question Reformation assumptions and show how evidence from Scripture and church history support aspects of Catholic theology.

CCATP . . . Sewn Softcover, $19.95

“Trent Horn offers clear and convincing answers to some of the most common Protestant objections to the Catholic faith.”

Be Faithful, Authentic, and a Trusted Resource & Your Store Will Go F.A.R.

There is an art to using social media to connect with potential customers.

When a person, business, or organization utilizes each of the many social media platforms available thoughtfully; they will discover an incredible opportunity to really connect with others.

Faithful • Faithful to your brand. The store customers come to visit ‘in real life’, should be identical to the one they encountered on social media. Social media does not need to be glitzy and technical to be engaging. Step One is to know who you are (your brand) and share that on your social media outlets.

Do you color-coordinate your inventory? Is there a place for visitors to pray or come for an event? Let people into your world and you will create community. Once people begin to see more of your Incredible Catholic Store, they will be drawn to come in to experience it for themselves.

• Faithful to your mission. Why did you open a retail location?

What did you hoped to provide for your community? Sharing your mission, is very attractive to potential customers. Faithful people love to get behind a good mission. There are many ways to share your vision through social media. A picture really does speak a thousand words.

A TrustED Resource

• Faithful to your beliefs. Conversations with customers are not merely sales opportunities; each encounter is a chance to evangelize. Remember you are an expert on Catholic products or services. Consider creative ways to capitalize on your expertise with your social media posts.

Authentic Trends in marketing come and go, but who you are will remain the same. Don’t allow your Incredible Catholic Store to have a dual personality. Be sure to share what makes your store unique and special. What interests do you and your employees hold that potential visitors to your store might connect with? Are you crazy about icons, Catholic fiction, or handmade Rosary bracelets?

Take authentic to a whole new level by creating a behind the scenes video. Behind the stock room door is your desk a mess?

We seem to have forgotten what this versatile tool was created for, though it is right there in the name. Social media is meant to be, well, social. Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg recently announced, “We’re making a major change to how we build Facebook. I’m changing the goal I give our product teams from focusing on helping you find relevant content to helping you have more meaningful social interactions.”

Consumers are growing weary of being targets for sales ads. They look for authentic engagement from trusted sources. In reality we are not marketing Catholicism, religious items or even Jesus. We are sharing a faith we care deeply about. When we spend the time to utilize social media tools appropriately, we will witness not only a natural increase in sales but also the blessings of helping guide others closer to Christ. Approach any social media, whether it be personal or business, being faithful, authentic, as well as a resource that can be trusted and you will truly go far.

What to learn more? Join me for a more indepth presentation of using social media to connect to your customers during the 2018 Catholic Marketing Network International Trade Show, Retail Education Day, July 31st, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

The Multi-Generational Virtue Mentoring Women’s Book Club

By Cathy Gilmore

Catholic retailers, invite your customers to help pilot a fresh, fun, and faithfilled way women can use book club to mentor teen and pre-teen girls. The cost is free but the value is priceless. Moms or grandmas and girls gather for discussion of the virtues portrayed in a great, age-appropriate FUN-TO-READ novel by a Catholic author. And, you get to sell them the books! Here’s how you can promote (and possibly participate in personally if you like) this easy, yet profound, book club. The long name: TOTALLY Feminine GENIUS™ Generations Book Club is abbreviated: TFG Generations Book Club.

Here is the link to the online article with a full description and details: http://catherinecgilmore.com/virtue-mentoring-for-teen-girls/

Show VIRTUE. Don’t tell it.

The most spiritually at-risk population in modern society are youth, especially girls, in middle grade, high school and college. Sexual exploitation, bullying, drug and alcohol abuse, and suicide are evidence of the devastating spiritual attacks they suffer on a daily basis. Many girls are so desensitized by toxic reading and entertainment that learning virtue feels utterly foreign. Mature women can come alongside the young ladies they love to help them rediscover the true girl power in the internal strength of selflessness. Wholesome novels that are fun to read normalize holy faith and true goodness for girls and teens. They are energized by the unique feminine genius that shines in a woman’s thoughts, words and actions in a great story. Imagery portraying moral character in the female figures in a novel imprints in the imagination how to be a woman of substance and spiritual strength. It’s far more powerful to SHOW rather than tell the kind of wonderful women God designed our girls to be.

The Heroic Virtue Mentoring Plan

Tools for GENERATIONS to share their GENIUS

A caring mom, grandma, big sister, aunt, etc. reading the right book at the right time together with a younger woman is a powerful mentoring opportunity to help our girls to embrace their noble destiny. The TFG Generations Book Club directs women to some extraordinary book choices and frames the book club discussion around easy-to-understand Everyday Virtues™. This list of virtues are the “modern moral compass” foundation of the emerging ministry of VIRTUE WORKS MEDIA.

Download and print out these tools to promote this club in your store. Make them available along with stock in the TFG books you think your customers would enjoy the most.

The steps for your customers (or you, yourselves) to do this club are simple. First, participants select and purchase copies of a TFG recommended book and read it. Next: meet for coffee, tea, or cocoa and discuss which of the Everyday Virtues readers noticed in the book. The “club” can be as small as 2 or as big as 12 or more. The ladies involved can be between age 11 and 111. They can do one book or pick multiple books to continue enjoying together throughout the year. It’s that simple. When you and/or your customers try out the TFG Generations Book Club, (small or large) please join the conversation and give feedback at the Virtue Works Media @ PowerofParable page on Facebook.

1) Free TFG Book Club Brochure with Book Lists LINK General information that includes both age range recommended book lists.

2) Free TFG Bookmarks LINK Each printable page is laid out with two bookmarks. Club readers cut apart and fold to use. They provide all six categories of virtues to reflect on while reading the book.

3) Free store or group 8.5 x 11 TFG Sign LINK
