Bible Day by Day 978-1-937913-46-5

Bible Day by Day, published by Catholic Book Publishing as part of the Spiritual Life Series, is an essential devotional for Catholics seeking to root their lives in Scripture. Offering a minute-long meditation for each day--complete with a Bible verse, a reflection, and a prayer--this book, bound in Dura-Lux with a ribbon marker, holds immense importance for fostering spiritual growth, understanding God's word, and living faith daily.

Its primary importance lies in making Scripture accessible and central to Catholic life. The Bible, as the Catechism states, is "the very soul of sacred theology" (CCC 132), yet many Catholics struggle to engage with it regularly. Bible Day by Day bridges this gap by presenting verses--like "The word of God is living and active" (Hebrews 4:12)--with concise, relatable reflections that unpack their meaning. This daily immersion fulfills Vatican II's call for the faithful to draw nourishment from Scripture (Dei Verbum, 21), deepening their relationship with God.

The book's brevity and structure are vital for consistency. At just a minute per entry, it fits into any schedule, encouraging a prayer habit that research links to spiritual and emotional resilience (Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health, 2020). Its portability ensures it's a constant companion, helping Catholics weave God's word into their day--whether at home, work, or travel--making faith a lived reality, not a Sunday-only practice.

Spiritually, it's a lifeline to divine wisdom. The reflections, crafted with Catholic insight, connect Scripture to daily experiences, fostering virtues like trust or gratitude. The prayers invite personal application, aligning with the Church's view of Scripture as a dialogue with God (CCC 2653). This daily encounter transforms readers, helping them see life through a biblical lens.

Its importance also lies in strengthening Catholic identity. By emphasizing the Bible within a devotional framework, it complements the Church's liturgical tradition, countering perceptions that Catholics neglect Scripture. It connects readers to salvation history, reinforcing their place in God's plan.

For prayerful Catholics, Bible Day by Day is indispensable. It turns the Bible from an intimidating tome into a daily gift, offering clarity, comfort, and a closer walk with Christ--one verse, one reflection, one prayer at a time.

If you have been wondering how to bring the rich traditions of the Catholic Church's liturgical year into your family life, this is the book for you. If you have no idea what the liturgical year is, but you are looking for ways to bring your faith home from Sunday Mass--in every season, all year long--this is the book for you too.

With wisdom and humor mother and blogger Kendra Tierney shares how her family celebrates Catholic seasons and feasts--from Advent and Christmas, through Lent and Easter, to Pentecost and beyond. She provides ideas for stories, activities, foods, and decorations that will help you to celebrate your Catholic faith with your family and friends without expertise or much advance planning. She also offers tips and survival tricks from her fifteen years in the Catholic mommy trenches about such challenges as bringing young children to Mass and saying a family Rosary.

Whether you're a convert or a revert or a lifelong Catholic, a member of a big family or a small one, a stay-at-home or a working parent, you're sure to find ways to make your Catholic faith a memorable and meaningful part of your busy family life--and have fun doing it!

Over the centuries, Catholic spirituality has always given priority and special emphasis to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and rightly so. Yet, it cannot be denied that the Heart of St. Joseph is intimately linked with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. These three Hearts are inseparable, says Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, in this latest addition to his popular Gems series. "My hope is that the daily reflections in this book will inspire you to grow closer to the Heart of St. Joseph and ask his intercession in your life," Fr. Calloway writes. "At the same time, I want to encourage others to take up the pen and write about the Heart of St. Joseph. Who knows, maybe in the future devotion to the Heart of St. Joseph will be officially recognized and approved by the Church. Perhaps even a liturgical feast day in honor of the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph will be established. Dream big! "Until then, may this little book help you love the Heart of your spiritual father and may it contribute to the Church's growing interest in the Chaste Heart of St. Joseph."

Daily Companion for Healing Addictions 978-1-947070-26-4

Daily Companion for Healing Addictions is written by Allan F. Wright, husband and father of four and offers a word of encouragement to those on the front lines of caring for others with addictions and those who have addictions and helps them strengthen their relationship with Christ each day and provides hope. Each reading begins with a brief quote from Sacred Scripture, a writing of a saint or an inspirational teaching from the Church followed by a reflection and ends with a prayer. A great way to begin or end each day for those who struggle with sobriety and fighting the good fight to follow whatever 12 Step program or path to recovery they are in. This book is an excellent gift for anyone dealing with addiction or offering companionship to those who are addicted.

A daily companion book rooted in Catholic spirituality offers profound benefits for those struggling with addictions, providing a steady source of hope, strength, and renewal. Tailored to their journey, it combines faith, practical wisdom, and the Church's teachings to support recovery and foster a deeper connection with God.

One key benefit is spiritual encouragement. Addiction often breeds despair and isolation, but a daily reflection--drawing on Scripture, prayers like the Serenity Prayer, or lives of saints like St. Maximilian Kolbe (who overcame personal struggles)--reminds individuals of God's mercy and their inherent dignity. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2288) emphasizes respect for bodily and spiritual health, framing recovery as a holy endeavor. This perspective shifts the battle from shame to redemption.

Another advantage of this book is structure. Addiction thrives in chaos, but a companion book offers a consistent touchpoint. Reading a short passage each day--perhaps paired with a step from a recovery program--builds a habit of mindfulness and accountability. Research, like a 2020 study in Addiction Research & Theory, shows that spiritual routines enhance self-discipline and reduce relapse rates, making this practice a lifeline for sobriety.

It also fosters resilience. Reflections on Christ's suffering or the promise of grace (2 Corinthians 12:9) equip individuals to face cravings and setbacks with courage. By inviting God into their struggle, they tap into divine strength, countering the powerlessness addiction imposes.

Finally, it combats loneliness. A companion book connects readers to the universal Church, reinforcing that they're not alone. For Catholics battling addiction, this daily resource becomes a portable guide, blending faith and recovery to lead them toward healing, freedom, and a restored life in Christ.

Daily Companion for Women 978-1-941243-93-0

Daily Companion for Women, written by Carol Kelly-Gangi and published by Catholic Book Publishing, is a devotional treasure designed to enrich the spiritual lives of Catholic women. With a Scripture passage, reflection, and prayer for each day of the year, this lavender Dura-Lux-bound book with a ribbon marker offers a host of benefits that cater to women seeking a freer, fuller, and more faith-filled life.

One primary benefit is its tailored spiritual nourishment. Kelly-Gangi, known for her compilations of saintly and inspirational wisdom, crafts meditations that resonate with women's unique experiences--nurturing families, balancing responsibilities, or seeking personal growth. Each day begins with a Bible verse, such as "You are precious in my eyes" (Isaiah 43:4), followed by a reflection that connects Scripture to feminine strengths like compassion and resilience. This aligns with the Catechism's call to meditate on God's word (CCC 2705), deepening a woman's sense of identity as a beloved daughter of God.

The book's brevity--about a minute per entry--makes it a practical companion for busy schedules. Whether a mother, professional, or retiree, a woman can weave this practice into her day, fostering consistency in prayer. Research, like a 2020 Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health study, links such routines to improved emotional well-being, a benefit enhanced by the book's portable, elegant design.

An excellent prayer book for any Catholic and makes a great gift for any occasion!

Emotionally, it provides upliftment and strength. The reflections address common struggles--stress, doubt, or exhaustion--offering encouragement through saintly examples or Gospel hope. A prayer might ask for grace to love as God loves, reinforcing the Church's teaching that prayer sustains us (CCC 2559). This daily dose of positivity helps women face challenges with renewed faith and peace.

Spiritually, it enhances devotion by emphasizing women's capacity to love and be loved divinely. Kelly-Gangi's "uniquely feminine thoughts" inspire virtues like patience and generosity, echoing the call to live the Gospel (CCC 1694). The book connects readers to Catholic tradition, making it a bridge between personal faith and the universal Church.

Finally, it empowers women to grow in holiness. By spending a few minutes daily with these meditations, they cultivate a deeper relationship with God, finding joy in their vocation--whether single, married, or religious. Daily Companion for Women transforms routine prayer into a meaningful journey, equipping Catholic women to embrace their faith with confidence and grace, one day at a time.

OTHER TRANSLATIONS

Slovak version

These pages bring you a beautiful collection of spiritual treasures drawn from the celebrated Diary of Catholic visionary and mystic, St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938).

Arranged by award-winning and best-selling Catholic author Susan Tassone into a handy, day-by-day form, these selections from Faustina's writings on Divine Mercy - revealed to her over the years in mystical conversations with Jesus himself - will help you do what Jesus told Faustina he wants you to do: trust completely in His mercy and show mercy to others.

By means of these daily readings, you'll come to know - and be enriched by - St. Faustina's "Secrets of Sanctity," awakening in you the qualities of Divine Mercy that Jesus himself infused into Faustina's soul: mercy (of course), but also trust, humility, and peaceful acceptance of God's will for you.

Since her death just over 80 years ago, St. Faustina has been a source of strength and inspiration for millions of souls across the globe, including St. John Paul II who canonized her in the year 2000. Today, she can begin bringing you, too, the strength and inspiration you need.

In Day by Day with Saint Faustina, you'll learn how to:

Grow daily closer to Christ in the Eucharist.

Use your suffering to help others, including the souls in purgatory.

Grasp the striking details of Faustina's mystical experiences, prophecies, and revelations -- and discover what they mean for you in particular.

Soon you'll begin to experience in your soul the graces that were poured into hers. You'll find yourself becoming, like Faustina, an Apostle of Mercy, teaching others - by word and example - about the infinite love and compassion of God, who is Divine Mercy.

In Walking With God, New York Times bestseller author David Jeremiah distills the wisdom of the Bible into 365 beautifully crafted devotional readings that will help guide your walk of faith every day of the coming year. Size: 7.4" x 4.76" x 1.26" (188 x 121 x 32mm)

Eucharistic Gems is an aid to the Eucharistic Revival currently under way in the United States. The specific time-frame set aside by the bishops for a period of Eucharistic Revival will come and go, but the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament will always remain in the tabernacles of Catholic churches around the world. What better way, then, to make sure there always remains an on-going fruit of the Eucharistic Revival than to have a book that offers timeless quotes on the Eucharist - 366 quotes, in fact - from popes, saints, blessed, venerables, and servants of God? Eucharistic Gems is intended to be a book that can be read and re-read for years to come, and keep the Eucharistic Revival ever in our hearts.

Jesus gives himself to us in the Eucharist because he loves us. When we receive him in the Blessed Sacrament -- body, blood, soul, and divinity -- we are united to the humanity and divinity of Christ.

Every Day with Jesus is an invitation to reflect on how our encounter with the Real Presence can truly transform our lives in so many ways. This daily devotional is divided into twelve months, with each month highlighting a specific attribute in the life of Jesus. You'll begin each day with a Scripture verse, followed by a brief reflection, a question or an act to consider, and a short prayer to Jesus in the Eucharist to carry through your day.

This companion to the daily devotionals Every Day with Mary and Every Day with Saint Joseph fosters spiritual growth and transformation through a renewed personal encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist.

As Guardian of the Holy Family and Patron of the Universal Church, Saint Joseph is a model and friend for all of us. Building a personal relationship with Joseph can have a profound impact on our spiritual life, for Saint Joseph always leads us to Jesus.

Every Day with Saint Joseph is the perfect place to start building that relationship. With a timely and relevant meditation for each day of the year, this book will help you connect with Joseph even in the midst of your busy life. This daily devotional is divided into twelve months, with each month highlighting a particular spiritual gift or charism that Saint Joseph exhibited as the husband of Mary and the foster father of Jesus. You'll begin each day with a quotation from Scripture, followed by a brief reflection, a question or act to consider, and a short prayer to Saint Joseph to carry through your day.

This companion to the daily devotional Every Day with Mary enriches us with the spiritual presence and intercession of Saint Joseph, needed now more than ever in our Church, in our families, and in the lives of the faithful.
