"The Church designates certain people as saints, who are extraordinary examples for Catholics to follow. But, when St. Paul addressed his letters to saints, he meant all Christians, not just a select few. He calls us all saints because to be a saint means to be holy, or set apart for God. In How to Be a Saint, author Jim Papandrea helps us acknowledge our holiness by outlining the fruits of the Holy Spirit and providing practical steps for everyday application. Love, patience, and self control are a few examples of the fruits that can lead any saint to understand God's will."

"Getting behind the wheel of a car for the first time can bring about a multitude of emotions. Thoughts of excitement, paired with anxiety set in while newfound freedoms await with the click of a seat belt. In Prayers for New Drivers, William Rabior provides a glove-box companion for young drivers to spiritually guide them through new experiences they will find as a motorist. Complete with prayers and petitions for any experience, Prayers for New Drivers outlines how sound, Catholic decision-making on the road can help with decisions down the road."
