Our Lady of Pontmain Catholic Story Coloring Book

TAN Books & Publishers, 1992-05. Paperback. New . 11x8x0. For many years now Catholic coloring books like these have been desperately needed to help instruct our Catholic children in an enjoyable manner during their earliest years in order to form their young hearts in the love of our glorious Faith. These beautiful, reverent story coloring books will provide that wonderful religious foundation for your children which they need early in life- whether they are in Catholic, public, private or home schools. Those children with a good catechism background will have a deep appreciation of these stories, and those not so fortunate will still be fascinated by this very appealing first taste of things Catholic. The stories told in these books are fast-paced and never dull, with plenty of lively dialogue. And the best part is that they are also doctrinally sound and factually accurate, making them wonderful tools for instruction and learning. The pictures have beautiful, kind faces, and the books overall are imbued with the traditional Catholic reverence for the sacred and with a pious respect for authority, which are so lacking today in much of the religious literature for children. In additon, these books include anecdotes and pictures of children- either of the saints in their childhood or of child seers of Our Lady's apparitions- so that the child who reads them or looks at them is able to relate immediately to the stories and find Catholic role models for his or her own life. Even adults find it difficult or impossible to put these books down until they have read them all the way through. After all, how many of us grown-ups actually know all the stories contained in these books- and especially the stories of all the Marian apparitions given here! Simply told, these books impart a wealth of knowledge on Catholic history, and they will be a marvelous investment for your whole family- or for any Catholic family your know!
