Book Review: Small Steps for Catholic Moms

I recently received Small Steps for Catholic Moms from The Catholic Company.   This book has been such a blessing.  I’d been wanting a copy ever since I saw Elizabeth Foss mention it on her blog months and months ago.  So when I got the chance to review it, I jumped on it!  I have always had the hardest time finding a time to pray and just begin my day with Jesus.  It’s been a struggle for years, but this book has been exactly what I needed.  This is a calendar of prayer in book form.  Each day is a quote from a saint, a prayer and some kind of action.  The months are divided by themes (June is gentleness) and each quote, prayer and action revolve around the monthly theme.  It has been just what I needed to spark my prayer life.  I find that if I read my page first thing in the morning, and then again in the afternoon (sort of a refresher) I can really focus and continuously pray over it throughout the day.  It helps me keep my focus on God, instead of letting all the little things throughout my day distract me from Him.
