I am excited to announce that two new sets of Calendar Cards have recently been completed, and they are now available on
Etsy and
Teacher's Pay Teachers. The two sets are Angels in the Bible and the Apostles.
Both are sets of 31 flash cards with a piece of artwork on one side and interesting information on the reverse side. They are available in a PDF format and can be printed out in order to make the flash cards. They can also simply be used in the PDF format.
Angels in the Bible Calendar Cards
The Angels in the Bible Calendar Cards are a fun way to learn about the
important role of angels in the Bible. There are several introductory
cards for the first several days which answer the questions of who are the angels,
where are the angels, how many angels are there, and what is their role.
The remaining cards in the set of 31 cards go through selected stories
in the Bible in which angels appear.
Some of the stories over the 31 days include passages from the Bible
where Abraham, Moses, Gideon, Elijah, Mary, Joseph, and Peter encounter angels. The Bible reference for each story is included in a separate table. Also, a prayer to your Guardian Angel is provided which is suitable for print out and display.
The Apostles Calendar Cards
The Apostles Calendar Cards are a great way to introduce students to the
twelve apostles of Jesus. Through 31 days of calendar cards,
students are provided fascinating information about each of the 12
apostles. There are two cards for each apostle which provide
biographical information about the apostle, the apostle's feast day,
some patronages and symbols of the apostle, and what the apostle did
after Pentecost.
Both sets of cards include information about the artwork displayed on the front of each card. In a separate table at the end, the title, artist, date, and current location of each piece of artwork is listed.
With 31 cards in each set, these can be used for any month of the year or simply used as flash cards for learning about angels and the Apostles.

Although we are still preparing for Thanksgiving, Advent will be here before we know it.
Advent is always a very special time in our home. During the four weeks, we enjoy preparing ourselves and our home for celebrating the birth of Christ. We generally have several Advent calendars we open each day. We participate in Giving Tree projects for the collection of gifts, clothing, and food. There are special feast days--Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Immaculate Conception, and St. Lucia--which we celebrate. There are many special events, as well. And of course, many people in our community put up beautiful decorations and lights which it is fun to enjoy. It is always a time of high energy which we can use for preparing our hearts for celebrating the wonder of God's gift to us--His Son born as a child to the Virgin Mary.
Several years ago, I wrote an Advent and Christmas-themed Rabbit book with my then seven-year-old daughter which eventually became the second book in the Bear and Rabbit Reader Series--The Rabbits Celebrate Advent and Christmas. For the Rabbit Family, like so many others, Advent and Christmas go together.
In this colorfully illustrated book, Tom and Martha Rabbit are excited that Christmas is only weeks away.
Join them as they prepare for Christmas during Advent. And then come
along with them for more fun with their family on Christmas Day.
The Bear and Rabbit Book Series is for story time, bedtime reading, and for early readers. The stories include fun illustrations on every page.
The Rabbits Celebrate Advent and Christmas is currently available as a PDF on
Etsy or as an eBook for
the Nook, for
Kobo, and for
the Kindle.
For purchases on Etsy, use the coupon code THANKSGIVING2015 to get a 40% discount! (The coupon code is good through November 28th.)

Getting to Know St. Ignatius of Loyola
July 31st is the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This Spanish saint is the patron of spiritual exercises,soldiers, and, of course, the Jesuits, the order which he founded. He was a man of humility and courage. He left the life of a soldier to become a soldier in the Kingdom of God. He is an example of being open to God's call through the events of one's life.
Now with Pope Francis, we have our first pope from the order which was founded by St. Ignatius. We are just beginning to appreciate the impact that his Jesuit training has had upon him and how it has helped shape his pontificate.
If you would like to know more about the great St. Ignatius, you might want to get one of my copies of his autobiography which is available as an eBook in various formats. In honor of his feast day, the eBook will be available at a special price through August 31st.

My new eBook for Early Readers--The Rabbits' Thanksgiving
Many years ago, LG and I started working on a series of books about rabbits and bears. The books were simply fun to make as we came up with a story (often LG made up most of the story) and then I (mainly) added pictures to illustrate. Over time, quite a number of stories were written and more information about the rabbit and bear characters was developed.
Not too long ago, I thought that these books could be edited and then published as eBooks for early readers as a series entitled the Bear and Rabbit Reader Series. I was very interested in this idea and got started on this soon after thinking of it. Since then, I have learned much about eBooks, and I know there is much more to learn.
I am very excited that the book has been published and in time for Thanksgiving, the first story has been released--The Rabbits' Thanksgiving. The story follows the young rabbits Tom and Martha through the week of Thanksgiving and the fun they have getting ready and celebrating the holiday with their family.
The story is available in virtually any type of eBook format. If you are looking for a fun story to read to your children or for one of your early readers to read to you, check it on
Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, or
Kobo.

Bear and Rabbit Reader Series Facebook page.

Pope Francis and the Autobiography of St. Ignatius
Our Holy Father Pope Francis is a member of the Society of Jesus or the Jesuits as they are typically called. The contribution to the Church by the Jesuits since their inception in the Sixteenth Century has been immense.
There are many saints who are Jesuits including St. Francis Borgia, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Aloysius Gonzaga. If you would like to know more about the founder of the Jesuits--St. Ignatius of Loyola--you can read his autobiography in an eBook version which I recently published. It is an attractive copy with the original translation into English and the original artwork. It is available for a reasonable price of $1.99 at both
Barnes and Noble and at
Kobo.
