Foreword by Scott Hahn
Everyday we are bombarded with choices--big and small. In I Choose God, we meet twenty-one young men and women who made the choice of a lifetime. Some were raised Catholic, some raised with no faith at all. Some were "good kids," some had serious problems with drugs or alcohol. Some had a bright future, some were at a dead end. All of them found their lives changed to the core when they encountered Jesus in the Catholic church. Whether you are searching yourself, or have long ago chosen God, these stories will inspire you to choose again to give your life to God.

If spouses and children came with instruction manuals, marriage and family life would be a lot easier.
Chosen and Cherished draws on the ultimate instruction manual—God’s inspired Word. For almost two decades Kimberly Hahn has shared this wisdom, based on Proverbs 31, with the married, and those hoping to be married. Now, for the first time, this solid teaching is available in this book as well as on DVD. Down-to-earth, practical and full of hope, Hahn presents the principles that will bring to every marriage the blessings God has always intended.
Included are questions for reflection and discussion questions for group study. The three DVDs include Hahn’s lively presentation to a seminar audience. This book will help you deal with many common problems—conflict resolution, communication, healing wounds of unfaithfulness and many others. But more than that, Hahn points us to a marriage built on trust, generosity, sanctity and faith.

Foreword by Mark Hart
Did you know August is the month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary? Have you ever visited a local shrine? How about baking some St. Elizabeth’s Bread to celebrate this queen who spent her life in service to the poor?
In Catholic and Loving It, authors Sabitha Narendran and Andrew Salzmann invite us to celebrate Christ in our daily lives and in our homes. It’s time to dust off the Church’s ancient devotions and to rediscover the joy—and the fun—of the traditions that unite our day-by-day routines to the wonders of Christ.
“Our goal is to live the faith, and books like this one make it simpler and a whole lot more fun.”
--Mark Hart, Author of Blessed Are the Bored in Spirit, A Young Catholic’s Search for Meaning

"This is the sequel to Ask the Bible Geek published in 2003....With amusing anecdotes and insightful answers, Hart attempts to connect Scripture passages with the everyday insecurities and occurrences of a teenager’s life....Hart has a remarkable ability to delve deeply into Scripture and easily connect it to our everyday situations. He tackles such diverse topics as whether teens feel misunderstood, how to deal with death and divorce, love at first sight, what God’s message is in nursery rhymes and the origins of Santa Claus. His humour and love of Christ shine throughout, without coming across as forced or false. Hart is a humorous writer, full of love for Christ and for the people he reaches through his books."
