The Catholics Next Door: Adventures in Imperfect Living
Real parenting involves grit, and that’s what you’ll find in this new book by Greg and Jennifer Willits. The authors, co-hosts of the popular SiriusXM radio show “Catholics Next Door,” have written a real-world guide for Catholic families who stumble toward holiness. They don’t ignore the daily grind of screw-ups, arguments, yelling, pooping and trying to form saints against all odds.The book is a collection of stories showing the ups and downs, successes and failures of their own family life. You’ll find children lassoing each other with rosaries, the difficult darkness of miscarriage, profound moments of conversion and plenty of fun adventures in between.Greg and Jennifer don’t sugar-coat the tough times or embellish the good—they just tell it like it is. We need such ordinary saints with one foot on the floor and one in heaven. The Willits give that inThe Catholics Next Door, and Catholic parents will find it refreshing and inspiring.
