Supporting Small Business: Catholic Door

Shopping is a favorite activity.  It is one I am fairly good at.  I have always had the knack of finding the perfect gift, never paying shipping, and finding a good price. This year, the new Catholic online store - Catholic Door - made all three of those tasks even easier!

Consider Opening This... Catholic Door

Shopping is a favorite activity.  It is one I am fairly good at.  I have always had the knack of finding the perfect gift, never paying shipping, and finding a good price. This year, the new Catholic online store - Catholic Door - made all three of those tasks even easier!  **Disclaimer:  I was provided a Gift Certificate with which to shop and give a fair and honest review.  In the end, I spent MORE than the G.C. - and plan to return for even more gifts today.  I THINK that speaks more to anything my review will say; however, I do have more to share!

Selling Point #1

FREE SHIPPING.... ALWAYS!

Selling Point #2

GREAT VARIETY, QUALITY, and ORIGINALITY of the products offered.  Here are a few of the items I purchased.  I received the quickly, as described, and well (but not wastefully) packed.  Catholic Door provides great descriptions and clear images to assure you know exactly what you are purchasing.

**Catholic Door also has an amazing mission and focus for the future.  Read More in any of these fabulous reviews:

Didn't even KNOW this was out yet. I LOVE the YouCat - and this Bible is a HOMERUN! Perfect for Teen or Young Adult.

This trinket box, which I am sure its recipient will use as a Rosary Box, is even CUTER in person!

The Hardest Part of Gift Buying ...

Not Keeping Everything for Yourself.  These may OR may not find themselves under the Christmas tree. Perhaps, they will end up there but addressed to people in my immediate family so I can still enjoy them. 

Selling Point #3

Pauline Books & Media September Book Review

9/17/2017

9 Comments

 
Catholic Books to Encourage, Inspire and grow you closer to Christ!

4th addition to the Explained Series Pauline Books and Media.  FANTASTIC RESOURCES
Explaining the Beatitudes to my eleven year old daughter, Faith, has proved to be challenging.  Not only because of the subject (which I as an adult struggle to fully comprehend) but also because of her learning delays.  Silvia Vecchini's books have been invaluable resources for our family.   Faith has learned so much - and honestly, so have I.

NEW from PAULINE BOOKS & MEDIA:

This fourth addition to the Explained series helps children ages 8 to 12 (grade levels three to seven) discover the meaning behind the eight Beatitudes-guidelines for living as Jesus taught us. This standalone volume helps children understand the passage from Matthew's gospel known as the Sermon on the Mount. At first glance, the Beatitudes can appear to be confusing. How are we "blessed" when we mourn? How are those who are "poor" in spirit also blessed? This easy-to-follow book breaks the Beatitudes down into simple scriptural based lessons, inspiring children with concrete exercises for spiritual formation. Engaging illustrations and activities for use in the classroom and beyond will help children walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
