The Picture Bible
Even Archbishop Fulton Sheen (soon to be beatified!) recommended this Bible, saying, “This Picture Bible for all ages is an excellent introduction to those who do not know the Bible and an excellent review for those who do.
We first found this Bible in a used book sale, in black & white, 7 children ago (so you can imagine that covers and pages and chapters are now missing) — and then we found this updated version that’s better than ever and in color!
We’ve found that our experience is not unique! One reviewer shared, “I purchased this for our Catholic school library, and I cannot keep it in the room! As soon as the children saw it, they wanted it.” Another satisfied customer shared, “This Bible has hardly been put down since it arrived. Our 9-year-old son is devouring it, and it makes this momma heart so happy!” This overwhelming response speaks volumes about the power of this Bible to captivate young minds and instill excitement about reading and discovering the Word of God.

Inspiration! Game
We worked with our newfound friends (game developers in Poland!) to overcome the mistaken idea that there’s a conflict between Faith and Science–through a game!
Great Catholic lesson #1: Players work together as a team (this is another great collaboration game for all ages!) and learn not only that many-many-many great scientists were Catholics of deep faith, but that a surprising number of modern discoveries and theories were made by priests and religious!
Another great Catholic lesson: through the game (in a truly creative way!) players learn that Angels enlighten our minds to make discoveries, as they also inspire courage to overcome obstacles and fears that stand in our way.

The Catholic Name-It Game
The #1 Catholic stocking stuffer, this game is a must-have for every family!
“This game is amazing! I play one-on-one with my five year old, we play as a family, and I even have my high school religion students play the game.”
“I bought this for my daughter. She and I have now played it at least a dozen times. Mostly the Indulgences game and the variation. She loves it and it is forcing her to become quite fluent in her ‘Catholic’ vocabulary.”
