The Domestic Church by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

Pope John Paul II wrote that the "little domestic church, like the greater Church, needs to be constantly and intensely evangelized: hence its duty regarding permanent education in the faith." The home is a center of living faith, a domestic church, and motherhood is a vocation. This book offers a systematic course for mothers that's equally useful for groups and individuals. The leader's guide contains helpful suggestions for women on how to begin a study group in their parish or neighborhood, a format for weekly sessions, how to create a comfortable, inspiring atmosphere, and tips for leading each lesson.
