Catholic Moms Share TOP Roadtrip Tip

Summer is the time to touch imaginations—
to open hearts, minds, and souls to the wonder of the Faith!

Over the years, we’ve heard from a lot of moms
about what works to make summer
a time of really wonderful family discussions.  

Here’s what MOMS have told us help make their summer roadtrips a success:

“Amazing!!! I have never had my kids be that quiet on an hour long car ride before…all 6 of them! They kept asking to listen to them again and again! We all learned so much. The voices are great and the stories engaging!”

“We borrowed some of these CDs from a friend, and my kids love them! Even my 3 year old can tell you about Bl. Miguel Pro, St. Joan of Arc, and St. Anthony of Padua. I bought the whole set!”

“Years ago when Glory Stories first came out I ordered one for each family of grandchildren. They LOVE the stories! They still know the stories almost word for word….and have asked for more because the old ones are so worn and scratched from younger siblings.”

“This CD isn’t just well-done; it’s a godsend. When my kids and I listen to this together, I can’t help crying– not just because the product is so good but because the vision behind it is extraordinary. Kids (and whole families) are tasting the JOY of the faith because of these stories coming alive, as they should, in our imaginations and hearts and lives!”

“On a whim, I put on the CD this morning as my 6.5 year old colored a picture. Despite his initial “I don’t WANT to listen to this”, he had migrated to the living room to hear it better. Less than 15 minutes in, completely forgetting about his coloring page! By the end of the St. Martin story, he was calmly sitting on the living room floor and stayed there through the story of St. Clare. Even more amazing, my 4-year-old ‘blur’ of energy was calmly sitting and listening too!!”

We’ve sold tens of thousands of these, especially in the summer.

We now are up to 18 volumes with the true stories of the saints.

Trust what moms tell us about the impact on children:
You will be asked to listen to these over and over and over–and Mom & Dad will not complain one bit.

Why?
Because of what they do NOT have and what they DO have.

Do NOT have:

• Silly songs that will grate on you over time
• Weird animal sidekicks (or just any smart-aleck sidekicks)
• Made-up incidents that simply did not happen in order to somehow make them “relevant to today’s world” (ie “dumb down” the stories)

DO have:

• Real events and lots of real words of the saints (so children and teens and adults each will comprehend and ponder at the level of their own knowledge and experience)
• Scripture to highlight the truth God revealed in the life of the saint (we cheat: we usually take from the beatification or canonization homily or directly from the words and notes of the saint)
• A beginning with the saint as a child–but from true incidents, not silliness–so children identify with the saint as a real person to imitate starting right now

Still not sure? I shot a quick video to share some fun facts and behind the scenes tidbits about our Glory Stories collection.

Learn about how two of the Polish actors in Glory Stories Vol. 11 actually knew Pope John Paul II and how we were able to talk to a boy who went to Heaven (and come back!) in the Glory Stories Vol. 5 bonus content!

Already have all the Glory Stories? Here is another great roadtrip addition:

Make your CAR time PRAYER time

Includes everything moms have told us they need–all kept together in a resealable pouch instead of scattered in purses, diaper bags, or around the car!

Based on research with hundreds of Catholic moms, the Holy Heroes Family Prayer Kit is a full range of prayer aids for all ages….perfect for car rides, classrooms, co-ops, and more!

“Thank you for creating this! This is a wonderful prayer resource for the car. My 3-year-old likes to sing along to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. We greatly appreciate your products! Thank you!”
