 General Description:

Bestselling Catholic author Mike Aquilina shares wonderful stories of family life - full of love and laughter.

"God stoops down to lift up our homes, to make them outposts of his paradise…no matter how cold the winds may blow on a winter day." —From the Introduction

Paradise? Family life? Really? Yes—and one filled with laughter. If that doesn't sound like your family but you wish it did, or if you're just looking for a book to lighten your spirit, Love in the Little Things is for you.

Love involves sacrifice, Mike Aquilina notes, but as he spins humorous stories from his own family, it is evident that moms, dads and kids are happier when they lay down their lives for one another. Love in the Little Things nudges the reader toward a more satisfying family life.

Mike Aquilina is a noted Catholic Scripture scholar, apologist and author or editor of more than a dozen books on Catholic history, doctrine, and devotion. He is vice president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology based in Steubenville, Ohio. Mike is co-host, with Scott Hahn, of “The Lamb’s Supper” (2001), “Hail, Holy Queen” (2002), “First Comes Love” (2003), “Lord, Have Mercy” (2004), and “Swear to God” (2005) — all airing on EWTN. He also appears regularly as a panelist on "The Weekly Roman Observer," broadcast by Catholic Family Network.

Mike's career in publishing spans two decades, and hundreds of his articles have appeared in many periodicals and journals in the United States and abroad. He also runs the popular website Fathers of the Church dot com.

Review Provided By TiberRiver.com - THE Catholic Book Review Site

This item received 4 stars overall. A Book about Family Life that Will Refresh You on Your Journey

This is a tale of saints in the making. Consider the exchange that takes place between the author and his then-3-year-old daughter.

"Why did God make you?" he asks her.

"To be a great saint!" she replies.

And, as Mike Aquilina reminds us, the Church calls all of us to be great saints. Thus, as much as we are all in this together, Love in the Little Things is every Catholic family’s story.

With humor and humility, Aquilina shares from his family’s journey down the often-bumpy road to heaven. Although Aquilina has certainly exercised his prerogative (and responsibility) as a writer to be selective in which stories and details he includes, Love in the Little Things is no hagiography. He amply reminds readers that even life’s most embarrassing episodes—up to and including kidney stones—can point us to God’s grace, goodness, and love.
