| Fr. John McCloskey has become a famous “convert maker� in the powerful corridors close to the White House. Having run the Catholic Information Center in the heart of Washington, DC from 1998 to 2004, McCloskey had direct contact with numerous well-known and lesser-known Washington figures. Among well-known Catholic converts instructed by Fr. McCloskey are Senator Sam Brownback, publisher Alfred Regnery, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, journalist Robert Novak and many others. ' This work is a joint effort of McCloskey and Russell Shaw, the widely read Catholic author, speaker, and former communications director for the U.S. bishops. Drawing on moving, firsthand accounts of conversions, this book combines personal testimony, solid theology, and effective methods of communicating the Catholic Faith. '' Father C. John McCloskey, III, STD is a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei and a research Fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute. He has served as a Catholic chaplain at Princeton University and as director of the Catholic Information Center in Washington. His articles have appeared in such publications as Catholic World Report, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. ''' Russell Shaw is the author of eighteen books and is the former information director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference and Knights of Columbus. He is also a member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, the father of five and the grandfather of nine. ' From personal experience, I can testify that Father C. John McCloskey is one of America's great Catholic evangelizers. This book is a unique, fascinating guide of how and why to convert, and it should be must reading for all Catholics. ' "Robert D. Novak , Syndicated Columnist ' Mr. Shaw and Fr. McCloskey have written a book about repentance, recovery, conversion, and joy. I recommend it because I have experienced it through Jesus, my Savior. ' "Lawrence Kudlow, Host CNBC's "Kudlow & Company" '' Through their friendship and their family life, Catholics converted the Roman Empire, on person at a time. This book shows you how it was done-and how it's still done today. It's a book that can change the world all over again. ' "Scott Hahn , author Rome Sweet Home ' This book ranks with Karl Stern's Pillar of Fire and Thomas Merton's Seven Storey Mountain as an indispensable spiritual road map for the perplexed, the sorely bent and the broken.I know: Father John McCloskey was my Virgil, guiding me gently and lovingly through the terrifying jungle of secular success to a place of infinite surcease n God's grace. ' "Dr. Berna |

| Bedtime is a sleepy, special time. A time for snuggles and kisses. A time for good-night prayers. And a time for remembering just how very much you are loved - especially by God! Every page in this book is like hearing a special "good night!" from Him. Like the sparrow, sometimes you may think it's no fun to be small. Like skunk, sometimes you may act like a little stinker! But God knows exactly what your day was like and exactly what you most need to hear when nighttime comes. And just like the sparrow, the skunk, and all God's other creatures, you'll find that His good-nights always make you feel safe, loved, and happy! |

| In the real world, kids acquire sexual information and experiences through an indirect process of observing the world over many years. Using a complex combination of reading, listening, talking with friends, watching television and movies, watching adults, siblings and peers, listening to music, dating, and experiencing sexual arousal, kids construct an understanding of what sex is. The perception they construct is what ultimately informs their sexual attitudes, opinions, values, and behavior and no amount of teaching (in the traditional sense) can override the long-term influences of these real-life learning experiences. If we want to impress the next generation with biblical values regarding sex, we need to enter the very process that is forming their ideas and their actions. |
