You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Here is a link so you can see the series that Roxie is asking about.

Horrible Histories

I have seen them, but I'm not personally familiar with these. They look a bit like a chapter book version of the "You Wouldn't Want to be a...." series which are a picture book. I have mixed opinions of those. The comic and kind of negative viewpoint is appealing to many kids (ie boys ) and makes it really memorable. I suspect these stories are taking the same angle.

I wonder what their worldview is - if it is revisionist history? And how they handle Church history which is often very biased against in newer materials.
