The Observer recently received three books from Sophia Institute Press to share with our readers. 

 

“Conquering Coronavirus: How Faith Can Put Your Fears to Rest” is writen by Teresa Tomeo. She shares stories of frontline workers, clergymen ministering to the faithful, and offers prayers and resources to help get through the crisis.

 

“The Catholic Faith Explained” by Michel Therrien, STL, STD, writes about the two repositories of our faith — the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. His discusion is couched in 20 short chapters covering topics such as how we come to know God and how to live as a disciple of Jesus.

 

The graphic novel, “Maximilian Kolbe, Saint of Auschwitz,” is written by Jean-François Vivier and illustrated by Denoël. While it covers the harsh realities of the German concentration camp during World War II, it is appropriate for high school and mature younger readers.

 

Parents may like it too.
