"Donna-Marie's book is a real treasure. The family has been called the "domestic church" and it is there that we first learn about God, our prayers, and how to live our Christian life. Donna-Marie certainly offers a valuable tool, because when the family gets together for a meal, it is an appropriate time to share and teach the faith. We are reminded at a meal that we not only feed our body, but we need to feed our soul with God's word and message." --Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.
, Founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Host of EWTN's Sunday Night Prime "There is no shortage of studies showing the importance of family meal time. Add in the spiritual component of prayer and teaching the faith and you have, as Donna Marie so eloquently illustrates, a recipe for success. Follow Donna Marie's plan and you'll be fortifying your loved ones in their faith now and in the future." --Teresa Tomeo, Syndicated Catholic talk show Host and best selling Catholic author "This is a very important book for the Church and the culture today, and will no doubt help shape the hearts and minds of parents and children to be more like the Holy Family. Fr. Patrick Peyton said it best: "The family that prays together, stays together." When families truly begin to pray together, the culture will experience the love and mercy of Jesus." --Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers "An altar is also a table.
It is the scene both of self-sacrificial love and of a meal signifying and embodying communion with God and one another. In Feeding Your Family's Soul , Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle shows us how to help make our dinner table into an altar of worship and love centered around family meal times. Read this wise and practical book and find a way to help your family become happier and holier. Taste and see that the Lord is good!" --Mark P. Shea, Author, This is My Body: An Evangelical Discovers the Real Presence "With gentle affection for her readers and an invigorating passion for the Catholic faith, Donna-Marie's new book is a gift of great value to Catholic parents and grandparents, everywhere. Feeding Your Family's Soul is a wise and delectable fusion of insights, stories, recipes, and prayers that will inspire and empower you to evangelize your family in the most natural of environments: the sacred space around your kitchen table." --Lisa Mladinich, Founder of AmazingCatechists.com and author of Heads Bowed: Prayers for Catholic School Days.
