Live Simply
So Others Might Simply Live
Jesus instructed us to love our neighbours. Is it possible to do that if we live in luxury while other people go without basic necessities? When scripture tells us we can not serve God and money should we simply dismiss this warning as not applying to us? Does the Catholic Church have clear teachings on this matter?
The Battle for Moriah
The kingdom of Moriah was peaceful under King Melchizedek. But it always hasn’t been. Melchizedek had defeated the dragons and their allies and banished them. Now they have returned and captured his daughter. This YA Christian Allegory is set in a medieval fantasy world exploring themes like the battle between good and evil, temptation and trust in God.
The Fullness Of Time
This story takes a deep dive into the Nativity of Jesus, the most important story in history. At first this story seems familiar but as you explore it over advent through the eyes of historical figures such as a roman soldier, a suspicious king, a wiseman from the courts of Persia, you will discover meaning and nuances you never knew were there.
“I really love the Fullness of Time. The different perspectives in the book really gave me an appreciation for the political and social realities at the time of Christ’s birth. It is a wonderful book to read at advent with your family.”

Gwen Meding
Gwen has participated in small group Bible studies since 1980. In 1990, before easy access to the internet, she found it difficult to find Catholic Bible studies, so began writing three Bible studies following theSunday readings of the Catholic Lectionary.
My Identity In Jesus
I Am, I Have, I Do
We stand on a firm foundation when we know our identity as beloved children of the Father and when we can identify the graces that we have been equipped with in Jesus Christ. This allows us to fight the battles we face and to carry out the mission prepared for us since the beginning of time. Give your children, grandchildren, students, or youth you prepare for the sacraments, the gift of knowing their identity.
