Written by Catholic parents for their own children, this book introduces the "facts of life" to pre-teens in a reverent and respectful manner by presenting the biological facts in the context of meditations on the joyful mysteries of the Rosary. Chastity is shown to be the Christian way of living out God's will as it encourages an attitude of reverence for the mysteries of procreation.
Originally published in France, this book has been so popular that it has already been translated and published in six other language editions.
The Joyful Mysteries of Life is a response to the Church's call for good resources for education in sexuality. With its predominantly spiritual and moral emphasis, in a positive, clear and delicate way, this book is designed to assist parents in their task of formation."
- Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, President, Pontifical Council for the Family

I love Divine Mercy . Say the chaplet at 3 PM every day and sometimes more often.. Jacqueline Lesniewski. My husband John has the Sacred Heart case and loves it as well.
Very cute and engaging!
I love the beautiful crucifix on the case I bought. It makes a great statement in everyday usage. I've gotten lots of compliments already.
Can i buy some more?
Beautiful and a life saver.
The images are beautiful and capture the events perfectly. The scripture verse references are useful for the bigger kids to look deeper. I have long been perplexed why anyone could be resistant to the True Presence, knowing that throughout the Gospels, what Jesus says, happens. This book brings that to life clearly.
A wonderful coloring book for my grandchildren!
Loved it!
It was a delightfully story
Beautiful coloring book, very high quality
Bought three coloring books for my grandchildren. Beautiful story. Large size pictures to color. Will help the children develop their Catholic faith.
I love Blessed Carlo Acutis. This will be a great gift for my godson.
It is a good fit for my phone. The edges will keep the screen from breaking. I like that a priest will be called in case of emergency. I love the picture of Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
I thought they were really nice! And having thestory in each page in both languages itโs great too. I handed them to my Church as we have bothEnglish and Spanish members and a Spanish Mass! Thank you.
I am using this book with my eldest daughter. Iโve never read Godโs Plan for our fertility explained in such a spiritual and loving manner, all within the context of discerning a vocation to either marriage or the religious life. My daughter enjoys it and doesnโt feel uncomfortable at all. I highly recommend this book for Catholic families with preteens or teens. It is truly a God-send.
I love the way this book is written for younger kids. It is very good start to talking to your kids about sex. Thank you!
The chapters are concise and medically validated! I believe all children who have uncertainties about the physical changes will find this book a gift from God.
I looked through it and I think it will be a great starting point to talk about Gods plan for sac with my kids. I canโt wrote a real review until after I see how it goes with my kids.
Very simple and sweet. Each chapter is about 2 pages plus a black and white photo plus review questions at the end of each section. It is not overwhelming and itโs an easy read. My son was very interested in the book and he almost thought the chapters were too short but in my opinion it really just leaves you more time for conversation about the chapter you read together.
The chapters are titled:
1)The cradle of the tiniest babies
2)God prepares a cradle in every woman
3)The baby is born
4)The vacations of women
5)The role of the father
6)The vocations of men
7)Original sin, and why God gave us marriage
8)Love is not so much what you feel as what you do
9)A girlโs virginity
10)A boyโs purity
11)Temptations, falls, forgiveness
12)What is freedom
13)Making a commitment โFor a boyโ โFor a girlโ
I would recommend it to any parent!
