As you may know my biography of Martin Sheen came out in February, 2015 (Liturgical Press). It’s part of the wonderful People of God series of compelling biographies about Catholics living and dead. The books are all about the same length (130 pages), the same size (about 5×8), the cost is the same $12.95 and the cover art is by the same artist. The series looks so good and the stories are well-written, interesting, and great for parish, high school, and college libraries.
And if the Christmas stockings are the right size, these books would make excellent stocking stuffers!
What I am thinking is that the entire series (there are ten books on offer right now though two are still on a pre-order status I think) would make a fine Christmas gift to your parish, your parish priest, or favorite book lover. You can order in bulk or individually from Liturgical Press or individually via Amazon. Liturgical Press has a book & eBook bundle as well.
Your local Pauline Book & Media Center may have the books in stock, too. Click here for the location hearest you.

and of course, Martin Sheen.
