Endorsements:
“Lisa Hendey has done it again! She has written a wonderful book that introduces children to the most important subject in the world—becoming a saint. Her latest effort shows kids why everyone is called to be a saint. More importantly, it inspires them to actually desire sanctity by connecting them in a fun way to the heroic legacy of past saints. Finally, this new book gives children some very practical ways they can serve those around them who are in need. Thus, it has the power to truly transform the world—by helping transform the children of the world into the future heroes of the Church.”
—Anthony DeStefano, Bestselling author of Christian books for adults and children
“THIS! This is the way we should be talking with our kids about vocation. Vocation is not something unusual reserved for an elite. It’s for each and every one of us. God has a plan for every life, and all those plans are vitally important to the Church. Vocation talk is failing today because it misses the point that is front and center in Lisa Hendey's book. May this book reach many homes and many hearts.”
—Mike Aquilina, author, Love in the Little Things: Tales of Family Life
“A heart-felt THANKS to Lisa Hendey for this precious little book of wisdom! Be holy—and happy—by becoming the person God made you to be. Share this book with your kids and you’ll help light the way for the whole family.”
—Father James Phalan, CSC, National Director of the Family Rosary
"I’m a Saint in the Making is a lovely book that makes the universal call to holiness come alive for today’s kids. With concrete, kid-friendly examples, colorful illustrations, and a great mix of saints old and new, Lisa Hendey and Katie Mitchell Broussard remind us that holy people come in many shapes and sizes, and we’re all called to join their ranks.”
—Colleen Carroll Campbell, author of The Heart of Perfection, My Sisters the Saints, and The New Faithful
