As per usual with this kind of work, remember as I promote it, there are no royalties involved. It was written on a for-hire basis – a fee, paid out, deposited, and by now, spent.

Today: St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross – Edith Stein.
She’s in the Loyola Kids Book of Saints:
I don’t have any copies of Saints, but I do have Bible Stories, Signs and Symbols as well as the 2020 devotional, and a few other titles here. Go here to see – and order if you like!

Also – check out my son’s novel!
And his film writing – posted almost daily – here.
For example – On the Waterfront
