A Labor of Joyful Love

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.  John 15:11
​

If you are looking for the latest example of “How Fancy is the Father” look no further than the cover of the book in this image.  It has my name on the front cover, but I assure you that the words on the pages are the work of the Holy Spirit.  I never aspired to write a blog much less a book, yet in his fanciness, the Joyful Words Blog and Rejoice Always, Cultivating Joy With Six Saintly Companions are right before my eyes and I thank him for that.  I’m so grateful for his faithfulness and I’m happy to offer this work in the hope of helping people see what joyfully living the Gospel looks like.
 
The book contains “lessons” that begin with a Scripture to open your heart to the Lord’s voice followed by a short story.  The six sections are dedicated to the intercession of a Saintly Companion whose life offers inspiration, wisdom and motivation to be a good disciple.  The book is designed to touch your heart and help you notice and understand all the ways the Father is working in our lives each and every day.  I had so much fun putting the stories together and seeing the way the Six Saintly Companions worked in my life.  If you’re looking for a little something to guide you each day as you grow in love, peace, prayer, humility, suffering and trust, this is the perfect book for you.
 
I’m grateful to Our Sunday Visitor, most especially Rebecca Martin, for turning this idea into a finished product and I hope people will laugh, pray, think and draw closer to the Lord as they make their way through the book.  If you are interested in purchasing a copy you can order using this link below or you can go to Amazon or anywhere Catholic books are sold. It might be the perfect addition to an Easter Basket or a Mother’s Day gift.  This book was a labor of love…for the Father and from the Father and I’m so happy to share it.
 
A Seed To Plant: If you have read the book, could I ask you to hop on over to Amazon and leave a review, this helps get the book into more hands.  Thank you!
 
Blessings on your day!
