God has a special mission for each of us! With engaging prose and
delightful illustrations, I'm a Saint in the Making reminds
children of their unique call from God to live with mission and
love. By recounting the highlights of the stories of both
well-known and newer saints (including John Paul II, Mary
MacKillop, Augustus Tolton, Teresa of Calcutta, Juan Diego and
Chiara Badano) in relatable lessons, the book helps readers learn
that there is no one single way to live a life of sanctity. I'm a
Saint in the Making offers simple but impactful suggestions for
ways children can offer acts of prayer, service, and love.
Resources for parents, teachers, and caregivers at the end of book
provide support for adults as they seek to encourage and accompany
their young saints in the making. Awarded the Catholic Writers
Guild "Seal of Approval."
How do you walk with your children during times of struggle and
crisis? Do you feel as if nothing you do will be enough? Where do
you find peace? Judy Landrieu Klein struggled with her faith as she
lived through her son's near-fatal addiction to drugs and her
daughter's painful anxiety. She discovered she couldn't handle the
relentless pressure of life not measuring up to her expectations
and it was eating away at her family. Klein considered Mary's
reaction to the events in the life of Jesus. She meditated on
Mary's fiat and her prayer of total surrender to God's will and saw
how this act of obedience carried on throughout Mary's life as she
witnessed the life of her son. As Klein focused on her devotion to
the Blessed Mother, her life and faith were transformed. In Mary's
Way, Klein reflects on the Annunciation and describes her own to
struggle to embrace the will of God by surrendering control of her
family planning. She meditates on Mary's powerlessness during the
Crucifixion, finding a place of calming surrender during her own
son's escalating battle with addiction.
