It’s time to announce my upcoming book, Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Dinner Table Spirituality which will be released at the time of dear Mother Teresa’s canonization.
Are you ready for the cover?
That’s always an exciting part of the book writing process for me. It kind of puts a “face” on the book.
Well, here it is!
What do you think?
This book is comprised of 52 faith lessons for the family. It encourages parents and grandparents to step up to the plate as first and foremost educator and to seize the moment to teach the faith right at the dinner table.
Here’s the book description:
This book is uniquely suited to come to their rescue. Feeding Your Family’s Soul: Dinner Table Spirituality is a vital tool to enable parents to transform a regular dinner time into a prayerful faith lesson for their elementary school to high school aged children. It will indeed help to fulfill the Catholic Church’s vision for evangelization in the family and beyond.
Through 52 fun and creative faith lessons (one for each week of the year), this one-of-a-kind book will encourage parents and caregivers to seize the opportunity in teaching the Catholic faith to the children (the captive audience waiting to eat!) while gathered at the dinner table, and while reminding them of the value of coming together as a family to break bread and share hearts.
Here’s a special endorsement:
Review
Donna-Marie’s book is a real treasure. The family has been called the “domestic church” and it is there that we first learn about God, our prayers, and how to live our Christian life. Donna-Marie certainly offers a valuable tool, because when the family gets together for a meal, it is an appropriate time to share and teach the faith. We are reminded at a meal that we not only feed our body, but we need to feed our soul with God’s word and message.
—Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R., Founding member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Host of EWTN’s Sunday Night Prime
This book bears a foreword by Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers and has received wonderful endorsements.
I’ll fill you in some more very soon.
Are you excited? I am!

We need this structure very much and I know there are many families out there that are in desperate need of this book. Thank you, Donna Marie Cooper, God Bless You.
Thank you so very much for your comment, Deirdre. That is my aim, to equip parents and grandparents with the tools they need to teach the faith. In a sense, to make it easier fro them to do so. God bless you too!
