The reader learns so much about the Depression years, about how people did so much with so little. [The author] never cheats on little details like how most people walked instead of driving cars or how their main source of entertainment was radio shows... Sprinkled throughout this tale of finding faith and security are tidbits which evoke pleasant memories of strawberry jam simmering or the spicy scent of pickles cooking. Donna Alice Patton brings all this to life in a book destined to find a place in many hearts. I recommend The Search for the Madonna for all readers, be they boy or girl.

Get ready to have a fiesta! Celebrating Blessed Miguel Pro..... $8.95 “This was a gift for my nephew who really enjoys reading, [and] he really enjoyed this book! ” -A review by R. Caputo on Amazon.com “Our family has been a fan of Blessed Miguel Pro since first reading about him a few years ago, so I was happy to find this book to read to my boys. This book mixes fact (about Miguel Pro and others who suffered to defend the Catholic faith) with fiction (the story of what happened to a little boy rescued by Father Miguel) and creates an inspirational story of faith, love, and family “ -A review by L.D. on Amazon.com “Ann Ball’s favorite saint was Blessed Miguel Pro, so she wrote the children’s book José Finds the King: A Blessed Miguel Pro Story. She hoped her grandchildren would come to know and love Miguel as much as she did by reading it. I know it helped me to love him more! My hope is the same for the children who enjoy the activities in this book. May the humor, prayerfulness, and bravery of Blessed Miguel reach them and guide them in drawing closer to the Lord. ” -Veronica Maria Jarski, Author of Celebrating Blessed Miguel Pro Catholic Supplements for Teaching Literature For the Love of Literature Teaching core subjects through literature by Maureen Wittmann b Teach every subject with great “real” books!
