Special Edition for Boys!
In this brand new edition adapted especially for boys, readers will find the tale of Dilectus and his friends every bit as charming and instructive as before--and now boys as well as girls will find it easy to become the hero of the story and make it their own!
Though initially intended to help with a child's preparation for First Communion, we highly recommend reading this story once a year--even for adults!--especially during the seasons of Lent and Advent! After finding a set of parallel French translations of this book--one for boys, one for girls--both were released to bring this classic to a new generation of young Catholics!
You can find the version for Catholic girls HERE!
+++++
The King of the Golden City is an allegorical tale which has stood the test of time because of the beauty of its symbolism and the richness of its spiritual advice. Written for children yet beloved by all, the only complaint lodged against it has been that its main character is female, leaving many boys to feel that this tale is better suited for girls. Encouraged by the original French translators of this book, who created parallel editions for boys and girls, we have now remedied this single fault!
Check out a brief version of this book originally appeared in Mother Loyola's first work, The Children's Charter, her book of advice for parents and teachers published in 1911.
BONUS: Use our Discussion Guide to help this book create fruitful family conversations!

from 6131 reviewsBeautifully 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.
As new to the faith, I didn't know that such a thing as plenary indulgences for the holy souls in purgatory existed. I found this card to be extremely helpful in providing the guidance needed to participate in this. I appreciated having the instructions and a place to track my intensions. Also the artwork is gorgeous.
These prayer cards are very nice. I am giving them to my grandchildren.
Incredible book! I buy it for everyone who is having children!
I passed them out at Mass today
Very in formative, no long discussion, nicely listed requirements.
Thank you for giving us a way and reminder to pray for the Holy souls in purgatory.
Love these cards!
Wonderful..so important 🙏🙏
I shared these with my Catholic friends and everyone was so glad to have them.
I gave it as a gift and they love it!
Plan to share with others…cards are beautifully done
Early access helps with planning and preparation in our parish religious education program.
Wonderful. Thank you so much for praying for people inpurgatory
Awesome prayer card!
Loved that they made a special version just for boys!
Good edition for boys. Smaller and doesn’t have color pictures but that doesn’t detract from the story.
This is a gift for my grandson who will make his First Communion soon. I know he will love it!
Thanks!
I’m so grateful to have this book to read to my son.
Thanks!
