Here is a crucial book for you if you want to shield your family from the effects of our selfish secular culture, which destroys families and poisons relationships.

Fr. Lawrence Lovasik, the renowned author of The Hidden Power of Kindness, gives faithful Catholics all the essential ingredients of a stable and loving Catholic marriage and family — ingredients that are in danger of being lost in our turbulent age.

Pros: This book is an effective tool for preparing preschooler for the Feast of St. Joseph (patron Saint of Sicily) and for teaching about the early years of Jesus.

Cons: This book is very dry, but taken in small bites, is a nice book.

Thoroughly orthodox, this book deserves its Imprimatur. But the full-colour, full-page illustrations at every opening imply a much younger group of readers than the dense text facing them. The vocabulary and concepts are too advanced for read-alouds. I'm puzzled about what audience the book is intended for.

This book would help to give children ideas of how they should behave. The Spanish was simple for the most part. Examples of behavior were included to help children understand how they should act. Some of the pictures seem a bit out of date at this time.

I received this book as a gift when I was teaching Spanish in a Catholic PK-8 school. As I was reading it I was thinking that it would be a nice book to use with a child. I must admit that the illustrations are getting very dated. While the Resurrection was mentioned at the end it was not included as part of the stations of the cross. The Spanish was simple. It was nice to focus on praying while reading.

I enjoyed this book because it reminded me of the importance of each of the Seven Sacraments and reviewed what each involved. This book could be good to share with third or fourth graders, who speak Spanish. The pictures are getting dated. The child who is celebrating his Confirmation looks to be about 8 years-old. I do not think that is a common practice anymore.

This book told me things that I never knew about St. Mary. The Spanish was simple.

The copy I read was "The Saint Joseph Edition."

I received this book as a gift for my First Communion in 1989. I never picked it up to read cover-to-cover until Lent this year. The book gives a nice introduction to the lives of saints. It is a very brief introduction that I imagine is intended to get the reader wanting to know more. The book also includes a prayer a picture relating to each saint.

At this time, the book is starting to get a bit dated. Saint Christopher is included. I think that the Church no longer considers him to be a saint. The way the book talks about people who are not Christian and people who are from countries that are not in North America / Europe is not modern.

This book is still useful, but it would be great if a new updated edition was produced. I enjoyed it overall.

A story to illustrate each question in the Baltimore Catechism No. 1. Each story is referenced to both Baltimore Catechisms Nos. 1 and 2.
