 General Description:

Kathy Bleichrodt

FINALLY...a catechism kids and adults will look forward to studying TOGETHER! Bright, colorful pictures and interesting activities make learning fun and easy!

Mother Mary... God's Gift toYou is fun and easy to understand because it teaches the way Jesus did... based on a story!  Jesus often used parables to teach and simplify deep mysteries of faith.

Based on the writings of Saints, Sacred Scripture and the Catholic Catechism, this series has been praised by numerous theologians, educators and religious as a completely new way to teach Catholic doctrine and spirituality.  The Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat show the catechism is approved by the Catholic Church. It is especially well adapted to home-schoolers and parents who want to supplement their children's religious education and prayer life.

(Note: This is the first volume of 3 for children of all ages.  A complete version for teens and adults is being printed.)

The Parable of Willy Wheat is the companion book to the Catechism and helps symplify hard-to-understand concepts by making simple comparisons just as Jesus did when He taught with parables. With bright, colorful illustrations and entertaining characters, Willy Wheat will delight and touch the hearts of all ages!

”Its simple text and delightful illustrations teach profound doctrines treasured by the Church and pondered by saints and mystics for centuries... The author has condensed centuries of accepted spiritual practices and devotions into and easy-to-follow pathway to holiness and union with God... It is a much-needed aid to individuals and families in an age when personal holiness is under grave attack... I commend this Marian catechism to children and adults alike.”

Testimonials & Endorsements on Mother Mary/Willy Wheat Catechism Series

“Jesus asks us to take His Mother into our homes and our hearts. Yet we need practical ways to do that. These books explain how Mother Church guides us in our love for and appreciation of Mary, and are attractive and useful to adults and children alike.” Kimberly Hahn: Co-Author with Husband Scott Hahn of Best-Seller Rome Sweet Home

“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mother Mary—God's Quick & Easy Way to Divine Holiness! It had beautiful quotes from great saints, gave examples so you could understand, and made me realize how close Mary is to me and how she helps me in every part of my life..” Annaleah, 11 Years Old

“The Mother Mary catechism series is wonderfully Marian, rich in creativity, authentic in orthodoxy, and corresponds precisely to John Paul II's call to present the "whole truth about Mary." I highly recommend this series to children and those "young in heart" as a delightful journey to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, "hand in hand" with the Immaculate Heart of His Mother and ours.” Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of Theology and Mariology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

“Wonderful and beautiful books with thought provoking quotations from the saints and gems of wisdom sprinkled throughout. These help my dedication and deepen my understanding of what consecration to Jesus and Mary really means.” Father Gabriel Weber, OSM, Pilgrimage Director

“I have used The Parable of Willy Wheat with our adult retreatants at the Pecos Monastery and their response was not only genuine delight but an understanding of their life purpose and values; a difficult concept opened up so easily in story form!” Sister Miriam Randal, OSB, Teacher and Spiritual Director; Pecos Benedictine Monastery

“This series is a true blessing, and sorely needed. In my many travels from parish to parish, diocese to diocese, I often find misunderstandings or deficiencies in our understanding of Our Lady's role in the life of the Church. These easy-to-understand, illustrative books fill this void and have the ability to teach even the more difficult doctrines about Mary in a clear and concise way so that everyone can understand them. ” Rich May, Catholic Speaker; Author of The Rosary, a Prayer for All Christians

“The Author has succeeded in firing the imagination and grasping the attention of children and parents. This labor of love brings devotion and enlightenment to young and old alike. It is an outstanding teaching and devotional aid.” Father Michael A. Walsh, Lourdes Marian Center

“In my own journey, I have found that the Lord speaks best when we approach Him as children, and I feel that the Mother Mary catechism series and the companion book, The Parable of Willy Wheat, will speak to the child that is within each of us. The teachings of the Church and deep theological concepts are delightfully presented in such a way as to make them understandable to everyone. I am so happy to recommend these books for their simplicity and style.” Mother Nadine Brown, Foundress of Intercessors of the Lamb Community
