It's a Win-Win (for the Nine First Fridays)!

This past weekend brought a double dose of good news. Well, the first dose actually came at the beginning of the month, when I learned that my book for the Nine First Fridays had won First Place in the category of Prayer in the Association of Catholic Publishers' "Excellence in Publishing" Awards. 

Then this weekend, the Catholic Media Association (formerly the Catholic Press Association), the largest of the professional organizations for Catholic writers, journalists, and publishing houses, gave my book the First Place award in the Prayer category as well!

Add to that Pope Francis' announcement in the first week of June that he was preparing a document on the Sacred Heart of Jesus (to coincide with this 350th anniversary of the apparitions to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque), and it comes to a perfect trifecta of recognition. 

So if you haven't gotten your copy yet, all the signs say now is the time to get one, and begin making the Nine First Fridays!
