In Honor Of..

The Feast Day of Sts. Michael, Gabriel, & Raphael..

St. Michael the Archangel, Defend us in battle..Be our protection against the wickness and snares of the Devil..May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do Thou O Prince of the Heavenly Host by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls..Amen

My Long Overdue Review..

Sorry that this review is so overdue, but life had gotten in the way..Plus with the new homeschool year, we've really gotten behind in somethings..So here is the review..

The book I had the privilege of reviewing is called "30 Ways in 30 Days to Save Your Family" by Rebecca Hagelin..

I have been wanting to read this book for awhile..I had heard about it through some websites, and by word of mouth, so I was itching to read it..And when the Catholic Company had it for people to review, I jumped at the chance to get it..

This book is AWESOME in my opinion..There are so many tidbits of information about helping your family in this book that I can't list them all here..From the start of the book (the forward is by Sean Hannity) you know that this is what you've been waiting for. A book that is going to give you the information on how to save your family (your children mainly) from the decptions of the internet, etc..And the filth that is sometimes on the television, in books, and the computer.

One of my favorite chapters in the book is "Make Your Home Inviting, Warm, And..Fun!" This chapter helps you not to make your home a "NO!" Zone..Which is often my down fall..Ms. Hagelin lets you know that it's ok to say "Yes" to things..She also informs people of how to make your house warm & inviting to kids, family & friends..

At the end of every chapter are 2 items that can aide you in your reading..There is the ACT NOW box (which lets you date & sign the box so you can take action immediately and remember what you wrote..) & there is the MORE HELP box (which will give you websites or books that can also help you in your journey)

There is advice from other parents who are going through & trying to "save" their families(which was extremely helpful to me)..

All in all this is a REALLY GREAT book!! I would recommend it to anyone. Ms. Hagelin makes helping your family be safe from all the evils in the world, internet, television, etc..easy, fun, and most of all informative..I give this book 2 thumbs up..

So that's it..Sorry I rambled..It's late, and I wanted to get this done before I went to bed..
