It&#8217;s supposed to be in from the printer tomorrow, but with all that&#8217;s going on, I won&#8217;t have time to organize that, put it on the webpage, do the PayPal stuff till Monday. But I will then, so if you want to order it, get ready. <\/p>\n<p>2)Both this year and last, thoughtful religious ed teachers have given a signed Prove It book to each of their students as a year-end gift. Nice idea! If you&#8217;d like to do that &#8211; EMAIL ME. Don&#8217;t do it through the bookstore. I&#8217;ll want to determine the postage rate separate from the costs of books in an order like that. <\/p>\n<p>3) If you&#8217;d like any of our books as an Easter gift, please order by Friday morning, so I can get them out in the afternoon, and you&#8217;ll get them before Easter.<\/p>\n<p>4) And don&#8217;t forget &#8211; any of our books make good First Communion, Confirmation, New Catholic, Mother&#8217;s or Father&#8217;s Day gifts. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amywelborn.com\/bookstore.html\">Bookstore link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Believe me, I will have something more interesting to post later, but I just finished fulfilling some bookstore orders (after a two month drought, they&#8217;re taking off again).

Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel.
