One Last Used Book Sale {Listing Books for my Mom}

by | Aug 6, 2013 | Book Sale | 37 comments

I asked my mom if she had any books she wanted me to list for her this year during the Online Curriculum Sale Blog Hop that I am hosting.  She had “a few” now that she is “retiring” from Home Educating after 25 years and my youngest brothers are headed off to college in the fall!

It took way longer than I planned some time, but I finally took pictures and listed them all below! They have all been used and range from very good to poor condition, with wear to the covers (some more than others and some with page curling, as you can see in the pictures), but all still useable.  We tried to price them accordingly.  If you have any questions please ask!

If you are interested in purchasing any of the books listed, please leave a comment listing the books you would like, along with your email address, and I will send you your total, with shipping, along with payment info. (If you’d rather not leave your email address, you can also email me directly at jessica(dot)showerofroses(at)gmail(dot)com)

These books will be shipped directly from my mom, and can’t be combined with any of the books that I have left. (By the way, I just reduced the prices on some of my remaining books here and here. Also be sure to check the link up for other new book sales!) Shipping will be a flat rate of $3.00 for 1-3 items (if they will fit in an envelope) and $6.00 for 4+ items or a box of any size, to cover the cost of packaging and media rate in the continental U.S.

    Just wanted to say to your mum, "Well done good and faithful servant" Totally inspired by her! So often I hear of large families here who don't hs all the way through for all of their children. It makes me nervous that I won't make it for the long haul for all of mine, some days I look at my little ones and wonder, do I have it in me to give them the same as the olders. Thanks to your mum for being a HUGE source of inspiration. I can only imagine what a massive change this will be for her (I'm 10 years on the road behind her) I'm sure Our Lord will have wonderful plans to unfurl for her.

    I'm sorry, that was a little confusing, wasn't it? 🙂 The Baltimore Catechisms are the books that are "free with purchase" not the books listed below with prices. Are you still interested in Into to the Bible, Child's Book of Parables and Outlines of the Catholic Faith?

    Also I am still sifting through emails, but I think I still have all the books, except for Christ and the Americas for you. If you could send me your email address that would be great! it doesn't seem to be linked to your profile. Thanks!

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
