FEATURED Ask Him Jane Trufant Harvey One of the most difficult things in this life is to learn how to speak to God as a friend. There is genius in these pages, because with each page, Jane prompts us to have a conversation with God. Who is guiding your life? How is that working out for you? Is it time for a change?

Are you ready to allow God to guide you in all things? Allow God to surprise you, to sweep you away, to show you what it means to be deliriously happy, to teach you to dance for joy.

Teachers Inspiring Teachers Matthew Kelly There is no national monument for teachers. I have never seen a statue of a teacher. But we all build monuments for teachers in our hearts.

Teachers change our lives. Teachers draw us out of our own tiny little worlds, and give us a broader worldview. They open our hearts and minds to new possibilities. One of the reasons teachers have such a profound impact on our lives is because their work is tied so closely to the meaning and purpose of life.

Everybody Needs to Forgive Somebody Allen Hunt Forgiveness will unleash a power in your life that is underrated and often ignored. It is underrated mainly because it is underused. We fail to capture the power of forgiveness because we are afraid of it, because we have grown comfortable in our familiar wounds, or because we are sinfully stubborn. But the power is there waiting for us. This little book, and the twelve real-life stories in it, will help you capture the power of forgiveness in your life. Because everybody needs to forgive somebody.

This book will grip your imagination—as you explore the Temple and experience the drama of ancient Hebrew traditions with the boy Messiah.

It lasts for always.”

SPECIAL 100th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE CLASSIC CHILDREN'S TALE

CHILDREN Goodnight Jesus Matthew Kelly You are never too young to get in the habit of saying good night to Jesus. Good Night Jesus teaches young hearts and reminds old hearts how to be grateful, thank God for all his blessings, pray for others who are less fortunate, and rest in the joy of faith and love. Evening prayer is a powerful habit, and this small book introduces that habit in a way that is as natural as waking up in the morning and going to bed at night.

Available as a board book

I Know Jesus Matthew Kelly You are never too young to start getting to know Jesus. He is full of joy and he wants to share his joy with you. He is by your side every minute of every day. When your heart is soaring with happiness, turn to him. When your heart is heavy with disappointment, turn to him. Jesus wants to be your friend.

Available as a board book

Why Am I Here?

Matthew Kelly Max was a curious boy. He was curious about other countries, he was curious about animals and nature, and he was curious about life. One day while he is fishing with his Grandpa, Max stumbles upon the ultimate question, Why am I here? His Grandfather suggests that Max is here to become the-best-version-of-himself!

In the days and weeks that follow, Max begins to notice when he is and when he is not celebrating the-best-version-of-himself.
