About this book
Saints come to life when kids can read, color, and play all in one book! This comic-style coloring book with cut-out trading cards, activities, and games teaches children about the amazing life of Blessed Miguel Pro. Born in Mexico in 1891, he was the third of eleven children. During Miguel’s life, Catholicism was banned in Mexico. Anyone caught practicing the Catholic faith was persecuted. Despite this risk, Miguel became a Jesuit priest and courageously celebrated Mass and administered the sacraments. His cheerfulness and great sense of humor encouraged many of his Catholic countrymen. He was eventually martyred, expressing his love for Jesus with the words “Long live Christ the King.”

Growing up a sullen Baptist and other lies
Robert Flynn
"Robert Flynn has gathered an eclectic array of seventeen essays, all of which will evoke a direct and immediate response. Ranging from humorous to satirical, from persuasive to sarcastic, Flynn moves from preaching to the choir to preaching at the choir. Trained as both a Baptist and a Marine, he explores the concepts gleaned from a world that this training did not equip him to control, improve, or escape. Flynn admits he has tried to meld the pretty presumption of the Baptists that "all men are brothers" with the hard presumption of the Marines that "you will attack until I say you are dead." He calls the result an unholy view of the world in which he lives and survives, alternating between humor and anger."--BOOK JACKET.
