Books, Videos, Blogs, Pictures, and a New Website

The next generation of Catholic publishers, authors, photographers, and producers is working hard to serve you.  


Joseph Karl Publishing's newly redesigned website will be launched very soon!  After many, many hours of meetings, planning, and building the site, webmaster Ted Lang from Advantage Information Systems will debut the new face of one member of the next generation of Catholic publishers next week.

Building a site to meet the needs of visitors, as well as those of the rapidly expanding company, was no small task.  Ted has done an exceptional job integrating a great deal of information in a user-friendly format that will eventually accommodate material currently in production and development.      


Be sure to visit the Corpus Meum: Authentic Catholic page,  which includes the logos and links to the publishing company websites of Harvey House Publishing, Full Quiver Publishing, Bezalel Books, and McVeigh Ministries as well as those of other wonderful Catholic companies and organizations.

If you are looking for exceptional quality, award-winning, life-changing, authentic Catholic material, you will be sure to find it.



Work continues at Apostolate Films on the short video The Sacrament of Christ's Peace. Additional pictures were taken following the Tridentine Holy Mass on Saturday and were integrated during the week. 

Voiceovers will be rerecorded next Friday at Ss. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Catholic Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan in the Archdiocese of Detroit.  Chere Sanborn Bernhard will recite A Reconciliation Prayer, and Fr. Benjamin Kosnac will record the delightful ending.  Apostolate Films is also thrilled to be collaborating with Ryan Orlosky, who will be advising on sound and technology.  Thank you, Ryan! 


The Sacrament of Christ's Peace is produced by Andre Bottesi and Paul A. Ray

Joseph Karl Publishing's Catholic image galleries continue to grow on Facebook, Google +, iCatholic, and Pinterest (see right sidebar for a list of the links).  It thanks everyone who has shared the images with others, and all those who have written to express their appreciation for the material.  God is at work in you!  
     

                                   
Today a new True Love Leads To Life pro-life image gallery was launched on Pinterest:  

                                

Pro-life individuals and groups are welcome to share the images or copy and use them to defend the defenseless and to promote the great dignity and sanctity of human life.  
 

The team of authors, editors, and producers at Catholic publishing partners Harvey House Publishing and Joseph Karl Publishing, including Nancy Carabio Belanger, Paul A. Ray, and Michele Bondi Bottesi, continue working on their respective books, and also maintain blogs with material inspired by the Holy Spirit to encourage, promote ongoing Catholic faith formation throughout the lifespan, defend life and human dignity, promote forgiveness and healing, and guide precious, immortal souls to Christ.

Michele Bondi Bottesi's blog:


The cover of Paul's book, A New Voice for a Broken Soul, is just about finished.  The exceptional front cover image was photographed by Mike Nykoruk at Highlights Studios.  Paul, graphic designer Roseann Nieman, and publisher Michele Bondi Bottesi viewed color printouts of the cover this week and will wrap up the file by the end of next week. Currently, Paul's manuscript is in the hands of professional copy editor Nancy Carabio Belanger, and soon it will travel to book packager Ellen Howarth at DDM Publications, who will finish typesetting the book.  The final electronic copy will then be sent back to Joseph Karl Publishing, and after Paul, Michele, and writer and editor Susan Schoenstein review the book one final time, it will head off to print.  

A New Voice for a Broken Soul by Paul A. Ray will be published fall 2012.

Work continues on God Moments III: True Love Leads To Life, a pro-life book written and compiled by Michele Bondi Bottesi.  So many people have shared their life-changing stories already, and there are still more to come.  Work on the cover began this week, and JKP is grateful to Fr. Luigi Gabris for sharing several testimonials and the picture for the front cover, which corresponds to one of his beautiful stories.        

God Moments III will be available fall 2012.

Surround Yourself With Extraordinary!!


Value the friendship of the saints. 

Never forget that you have so many friends and intercessors in heaven! Talk to them. They are fantastic  teachers and counselors. 

Invite them for a visit. SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THEM. You'll never be lonely, or without help. Ever. :>)
Find ways to tap into more and more of the extraordinary and at times unfathomable supernatural experiences that come from embracing the majestic full expression of your Catholic faith. Strive to make it your way of life to accomplish God's most perfect will.  

Imitate the Saints, learn from them, be empowered by them!  Be humble, grow, learn, and serve, always loving in greater measure.   
 
Eat lunch with the Franciscans: invite St. Francis and St. Anthony. Ask Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. to help you learn your faith, so you can defend it and never take it for granted. 

Say the Rosary with St. John Bosco and his mother while having breakfast! In a jam? Ask St. Jude and St. Rita to come to the rescue. Take a quiet walk with Christ Himself. Ask, and heaven will not refuse!

Invite St. John of the Cross into your dark night, ask Mother Teresa and St. Andre Bessette to help you make your life a miracle, keep Jesus company in prison, care for the sick with St. Guiseppe Moscati, go see a movie with our Blessed Mother!! Arrive after the previews so our Lady doesn't have to watch those. ;>)

Who are your favorite saints?  Which saints have reached out to you to lend a helping hand?  Who is  hoping at this very moment to become your newest friend and intercessor?  


God wants YOU to become a saint, too!  Hanging out with other saints is a great way to become one. 


Always remember that all the saints are pro-life, because they lived, loved, and served in imitation of Christ.   

God, the Creator of Life, is pro-life.  Are you?

Fishing With JKP's Publishing Team


Work continues on many different projects at Joseph Karl Publishing.  Our webmaster, Ted Lang from Advantage Information Systems, continues to built its all new website, which will debut within the next several weeks.  Since things change very rapidly around here, it will continue to be a work in progress as the team fulfills our heavenly assignments, for you, as they are given.


The short video "The Sacrament of Christ's Peace," an inspiring work that celebrates the Sacrament of Reconciliation, will be wrapped up next week after Chere Sanborn Bernhard's voiceover is recorded and integrated with the images and the music.  That video will be posted on YouTube, Facebook, GodTube, iCatholic, and on various blogs very soon.

Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J. 

Work continues on the creation of the trailer for the documentary film on the life and legacy of Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.  Fr. Hardon continues to lead souls to Christ by helping the team develop the brochure and official material for the pro-life movement True Love Leads To Life.  That material will also be integrated into the pro-life book God Moments III:  True Love Leads To Life, which will be published in the fall of 2012.



As the stories for that compilation are completed, they are shared individually on the internet to reach as many people as possible with God's pro-life message.  Joseph Karl Publishing thanks everyone who has shared the pro-life stories and images with others.  Together, let's love, role-model, and educate an end to legalized abortion and euthanasia around the world.

 The two most recent stories from the book come from Fr. Benjamin Kosnac, pastor, and Fr. Luigi Gabris, associate pastor, of Ss. Cyril and Methodius Slovak Catholic Church in Sterling Heights, Michigan.  Fr. Luigi's story is still being written, and may be used in a second book, a pro-life picture book for children.

Here is Fr. Ben's story, which reminds us that every single life is loved into being by God, and is to be accepted, loved and valued by us: "Are You Seriously Considering Having This Baby?" 

 Fr. Benjamin Kosnac


Award-winning graphic designer Roseann Nieman of Niemanart Graphics continues her work designing the cover of Paul A. Ray's life-changing book, A New Voice For A Broken Soul, which is nearing completion.

 
Catholic images are added to JKP's galleries daily, and its newest picture gallery on Pinterest now has 145 pictures.  Soon, favorite images will be developed into posters and made available in various sizes.  Other beautiful images will be made available free for downloading, sharing, and using to honor God and serve one another.  There will be Catholic images as well as Catholic pro-life images.  


The Next Generation of Catholic Publishers is here to serve you.
