Catholic Mystique: Fourteen Women Find Fulfillment, The
$14.95
By Patricia Sodano Ireland and Jennifer Ferrara

There are Catholics and non-Catholics alike who take it as truth that the Catholic Church is no place for a self-respecting, intelligent woman. Small wonder they’re sympathetic to the feminists who couldn’t care less about the Church but, even so, relentlessly agitate for its complete restructuring … with women’s ordination as the new centerpiece.

Authors Jennifer Ferrara and Patricia Sodano Ireland disagree. Both were ordained Lutheran ministers. Both became Roman Catholics. The Catholic Mystique tells their stories — and the stories of more than a dozen other educated, articulate, accomplished women who found ultimate fulfillment in the Church.

While the contributors to this book come from a wide variety of backgrounds, time and again, it was the Church’s clear and uncompromising stance on the sanctity of human life that first attracted a woman’s attention, and then captured her heart. Paperback, 304 pages. Our Sunday Visitor March 2004

A Mother’s Rule of Life
$18.95
SIP:41-5
How to Bring Order to Your Home and Peace to Your Soul by Holly Pierlot. On January 1, 2000, Holly Pierlot pounded her fist on the kitchen table and yelled at her husband, “I can’t take it anymore!”

Motherhood and home schooling had overwhelmed her. The house was dirty, the laundry undone. Holly felt frustrated, discouraged, and alone. She couldn’t find time to snuggle and have fun with her five children or to go out with her husband. Yes, she loved Philip and she did love God, but she had come to resent Philip’s freedom and she almost never found time for prayer.

Today, everything’s better.
Holly still home schools, but the house is cleaner, she gets more done, and the kids are happier. There’s less stress, less strife, and less housework. Holly’s been healed of past wounds that troubled her soul and her marriage. Best of all, she spends at least an hour each day in prayer and time each evening with Philip.

Holly brought about these changes with what she calls her Mother’s Rule of Life, a pattern for living that combines the spiritual wisdom of the monastery with the practical wisdom of motherhood.

olly’s Rule is not just another set of schedules; it’s a way for Christian mothers to answer God’s call to holiness.

ith the help of your own Rule, you can get control of your own household, grow closer to God, come to love your husband more, and raise up good Christian children. In these wise and practical pages, Holly shows you how.

Do you want to be a better wife and mother? To have more order in your life? To grow in union with God? Are you desperate yet?

With your own Mother’s Rule of Life, you’ll transform motherhood and its burdens into the joyful vocation it’s meant to be. Learn from Holly Pierlot how to craft a Rule that’s right for you and your family. Then use that Rule to help God draw you, your husband, and each of your children into Heaven. 224 pages paperback Sophia Institute Press, Fall 2004.
