A Grad Gift You Don’t Want to Miss: To Know the Savior by Michelle Gelineau

[Post Number I from the Minnesota Catholic Home Education Conference]

[There will be more. Be warned.]

Everyone, I’d like you to meet Michelle.

Hi Michelle!

Michelle is a beautiful, faith-filled sister-of-the-heart that I met at the MCHEC last year. At that time, she gave me one of her “Give Him Five” coffee mugs, which became a wonderful focal point during my prayer time.

This year, though, she has a book…

…and I am falling in love with Our Lord all over again, in a wonderfully beautiful brand NEW way.

This book is perfect for the adoration chapel, or for your thanksgiving after receiving the Eucharist, or for taking a quiet {5-minute} moment locked in your bedroom.

This book is perfect for high school grads and confirmands, for your teens and tweens and godchildren, and for YOU, my friend of the heart.

This book is truly perfect for you.

First, I love its spiral-bound simplicity and that there are sections for journaling during prayer. It’s broken down into 17 chapters, each with a different theme for that moment’s prayer. These themes include: “When there is a busy day ahead,” “When I’m struggling to forgive” and “When I’m too exhausted to pray.”  Best of all, every chapter takes the Give Him Five “FAITH” approach, (that I love), which is:

• F for Focus (Find a Quiet Place)
• A for Asking (Ask Our Lord to be with You)
• I for Important (Share what’s Important)
• T for Thanksgiving (Thank Him every day)
• H for Help (Life is difficult. Ask Our Lord for the graces you need.)

I can’t recommend this book enough, and it’s not just because I love Michelle. That is a part of it, of course–she’s walking the walk and I want to, too.
