- Description

POPULAR AUTHOR and presenter Patrick Madrid draws Life Lessons from the many interesting, funny, instructive, and poignant experiences of his own life. Grounded in Scripture and plenty of life experience, Patrick shows how the smallest stories that make up your life are clear pointers to the greater story of God’s work in your life. The laughter, the tears, and the beauty of life come alive through Patrick’s insightful and clear style. These Life Lessons will inspire you to look anew at your everyday experiences—and see the wonder of God.
“This intimate look into the life of one of America’s most beloved Catholic personalities is sure to be a classic. The stories are entertaining and vividly written, and each contains a strong dose of life-changing wisdom.”
— Jennifer Fulwiler, Author of Something Other than God“Life Lessons is a practical invitation to prayerful reflection on God’s active presence in our lives, especially when and where we least expect to find him!”
— Most Reverend Paul Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City“Saint Peter’s first epistle says, ‘Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.’ Life Lessons is a book full of hope for everyone, especially those who want to grow and experience God’s merciful love.”
— Most Reverend James S. Wall, Bishop of Gallup“Patrick Madrid shares the Gospel through short, often funny, and real accounts of the Lord’s presence in ordinary moments. This book will open the eyes of everyone seeking Christ’s presence in everyday life.”
— Most Reverend James Conley, Bishop of Lincoln

from 6145 reviewsBeautifully constructed- sturdy! Can’t wait to hand them out to my Bible study group. What a wonderful way to honor our beloved souls!
I try to introduce a saint during each class and if a child remembers to bring their folder back each week they get a sticker on their folder. With All Saints Day coming up they contribute to the children knowing more saints. I think it's so important for them to become familiar with the saints and their lives. I know they help me.
I’ve done the indulgences the last two years. Having the cards make it so much easier. Thank you .Last year I had trouble remembering which day was for which person. I ended up placing that decision in God’s hands.
This is Grandpa's 1st Christmas in Heaven. I will be traveling to be with my Grandchildren this Christmas. The Grandchildren need to hear about the Great love of Our Father who "sets a banquet for us". Jesus said he went to "prepare a place for us", he also said "Eye has not seen & Ear has not heard what God has ready for those who Love Him". This year i will be reading this to them! Thank you!
Interesting and well written. I love these books, which give us insight into traditions all over the world, while helping to educate us on complex Catholic concepts. Bought a complete set for my church!
Love them! ;)
Fine
Am going to share with my granddaughter so she'll know to pray for me.
This is a wonderful idea!!
I purchased a pack to give to our senior altar boys. The reception, so far, has been moderately acceptable. I expect more of a response as they have an opportunity to examine them in private, especially as we get closer to All Souls Day.
Beautifully arranged and explained images, even for very young children! My three year old will pore over this book, up close and personal, for ten minutes! It doesn't sound like a long time, but very impressive for his attention span. Thank you, Holy Heroes!!!
Getting ready for All Saints/Souls days!! As St Padre Pio would say, "We got souls to get out of Purgatory". We are the Church Militant. Let's get to it!
Although this scorecard is a marvelous teaching aid for kids, I was happy to buy the two pack so my adult sister and I could use it to do the First Five Saturdays at the same time. (This way, I don't have to keep reminding her about the steps.) :)
These cards are an invaluable teaching aid, for young people, as well as adults!
Beautifully done and convenient reminders of our duty to pray for the Holy Souls in November and of the plenary indulgences available. I am giving them to my senior group at church next week.
