Congratulations to my friend and fellow Catholic blogger Brandon Vogt for the launch of the new Church and New Media Website and today’s release of the book trailer video for The Church and New Media. I am so happy to be one of the contributors for this book. Brandon has assembled an amazing team of writers who are on the cutting edge of using technology at the service of the Word. His work on this project is so inspirational, as not only has he created an amazing book and website, but also “100% of the royalties from the book will go toward establishing school computer labs throughout the Archdiocese of Mombasa, Kenya. In addition to providing computers, the kids will be trained in computer literacy skills – their ticket to the “digital continent”.”

Stay tuned for more information on the book, which will be released in early August, and please take a few moments to enjoy the book trailer video below.

A huge thanks to my friend and fellow Catholic Mom blogger Anne McClure of Catholic Mommy Brain for offering her readers a “sneak peek” at my upcoming book, A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms: 52 Companions for Your Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. Anne generously invited me to share a few thoughts on the writing of the book and some of my favorite intercessors. I hope you’ll head over to Catholic Mommy Brain and enjoy not only this article, but also some of Anne’s terrific writing!

My new book, The Handbook for Catholic Moms, is nearing release.  The excitement is building, and my friends at The Catholic Company are running a great contest to help me spread the word!  Here are the details:

Just send us your  favorite, best working, or funniest piece of motherly advice you’ve heard from your Mom, Grandmother, etc.  We’ll compile all the entries and pick our Top Five Favorites to win a signed copy of Lisa’s new book!  We’ll post all entries online and share the Top Five on YouTube, Facebook, CatholicSpotlight.com and more.

Email your entry to contest@catholiccompany.com; please include your full name, email address, and mailing address. No purchase is necessary. Submissions will be accepted now through February 14, 2010. Only one entry per person.  Participants must be 18 years of age or older as of the time of submission.  This contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and Washington, DC except for employees of The Catholic Company and Trinity Road, LLC, and all companies contributing prizes, judges, and members of their immediate families.

To build a little excitement, I filmed the following video today.  Please help spread the word by sharing this on your website, blog or podcast – and don’t forget to send your entry to contest@catholiccompany.com by 2/14/10.
