I love the F&F website, and I love your magazine, and I would love to love the podcasts, but they are very difficult to hear. I have the volume cranked up to 100% and have to crouch next to my (admittedly poor) speakers to hear you. Which means that I can’t listen because I am trying to clean out my china cabinet. Now, I have a loud house, admittedly poor speakers, a fan going on the woodstove… but I have experienced this before and it makes me want to not listen to the podcast. So, I am complaining but only because I want to hear it. Please, is there any way to increase the volume on your end? Thanks in advance.
Reading Fun and Getting Ready for Advent

This week on the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Danielle, Sarah, and Rebecca get together for a virtual “book club” and share some recent titles they’ve been enjoying:
The #1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
John Adams
Theophilos
The Soul Reader
Poor Banished Children
A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms
Our Faith & Family Feature Product this week is the wonderful Advent book Welcome Baby Jesus by our own Sarah Reinhard. Advent is a season almost forgotten by the secular world. With new toys and electronics available, why should we focus on this time of anticipation? Most everyone cannot wait for Christmas morning to arrive, but is it for the right reason? Sarah designed Welcome Baby Jesus for you and your family to capture some of what’s intended by the liturgical season of Advent. Each day has a Scripture quote from the Sunday gospel readings, a brief reflection, and an action to complete. With each passing Sunday, your Advent Wreath will grow brighter, your family’s faith will grow stronger, and the true meaning of this season will be discovered.
In our final segment, we continue the theme of Advent. Christmas is coming! Is it really? Does the idea of gearing up for Advent make you happy/stressed/excited/anxious or some combination of those things? Any new things going on in your life that will make this year different for you - either simpler or more challenging. Have you begun any preparations (do not tell me you have all your shopping done, or I will hang up the phone)? What helps you keep peace in your heart and your home during the busy holiday season that lies ahead? What helps you and your family focus on Jesus throughout December?
