Beware of this severely edited version!!!!
Sadly, this wonderful book was poorly edited in a misguided attempt to "update" the text. It is still a great reference, but I advise traditional Catholics to find the original text published by the same author under the title "We and Our Children". The traditional Latin Mass was explained in beautiful detail in the original version, but in this edition, most of the descriptions were eliminated to make it "modern" and match the new Mass from the 1970s. I hope the publisher will reproduce the original, unedited version for those who appreciate the traditional liturgy. I bought both books and one can vividly see how much of our Catholic heritage we have lost when one compares the two editions and sees how much was eliminated.

Kind, gentle, specific approach to raising Catholic children
I was looking for a book that specifically addressed the training of Catholic children and I definitely found it in "How to Raise Good Catholic Children"!

Mary Reed Newland writes wonderfully in this detailed how-to book on raising Catholic children. The book was written 50 years ago, but it is as relevant today as ever, save for a few liturgical differences. Her style is very kind and gentle. It makes me wish that I was one of her children and had grown up with her teachings!

She is very specific in how to go about teaching such things as love of the Rosary and the Rite of Baptism. She gives examples of what to say and how to say it, but the way she does it is very gentle and subtle. This is not an in-your-face, do-it-my-way book. It's a great read and puts me in a great frame of mind to teach my own children.

If you are looking for guidance in how best to train your children in the Catholic faith, this is definitely the book for you!

Great Read, Great Reference
This book was a gift from the Godmother of my youngest of 5 children. It is full of wonderful insights and examples. I use it as more of a reference than anything else, for my college-age daughter who calls with disgust at what professors try to convince her is taught by the Catholic Church to questions she has as she struggles between this world and her morals, and I turn to it for situations that arise all the way down to my youngest child of [..]. I also teach [...]CCD, and use it for so many lessons rather than the watered-down text the Parish uses. It is a MUST for Catholics with children!
