To see the sacred, to see God's presence, to see the holy in what is otherwise ordinary around us, this is to see with the eyes of faith. Kathy Coffey believes that we discover "the art of faith" in precisely this way. Here she invites readers to see their own lives as unique and priceless works of art. In forty brief chapters she reflects on the art of faith through the lens of various other arts, such as painting, writing, gardening, weaving, storytelling, yoga, cooking, poetry, and dancing. Each reflection is accompanied by inspiring quotes for further pondering, as well as insightful questions for reflection and discussion. This is a beautiful book, one that soars into the spiritual realm of God's own life, a place where it is highly believable that each of us is a beautiful and unique work of art.

Anointed and Sealed with the Spirit is a confirmation program for Catholic parishes. This book is a practical guide to prepare for Catholic confirmation of candidates ages 7 to adult. Rather than providing “everything you need to know about being Catholic,” it gives candidates the preparation the Rite calls for. Confirmation: Anointed and Sealed with the Spirit offers lots of options so confirmation preparation can be customized to meet the needs of candidates and the parish. Included are a solid theological foundation, a reflection for adult leaders, and a host of creative activities through which children, young people and adults can be led into deeper understanding and commitment.
