Perfect Read for October--Pro-Life Awareness Month--and November--National Adoption Month!
When Allison Gingras received a Miraculous Medal from a friend, she began weaving it and other sacramentals into her daily prayer and family life. Through these sacred signs--which open our hearts to God's grace--she not only grew closer to Jesus and Mary, but also found the strength and clarity to say "yes" to God's call to adoption.
In Encountering Signs of Faith, Gingras--founder of Reconciled to You ministries--shares how sacramentals sustained her as she discerned and embraced the adoption of her profoundly deaf daughter from China, deepened their bond, and offered a powerful witness to the beauty of every life as a gift from God.
Alongside her story, Gingras highlights saints who drew strength from sacramentals--such as Juan Diego, Faustina, Bernadette, and Venerable Patrick Peyton--and shows how simple practices like using holy water, praying novenas, displaying sacred images, or praying with the Rosary can enrich family faith life. Each chapter includes reflection questions and activities to help you and your loved ones embrace the sanctity of life and grow in trustful surrender to God's plan.
This heartfelt book will inspire you to recognize the gift of life in all its forms, respond with courage to God's invitations, and encounter Jesus, Mary, and the saints through the tangible signs of faith.
