God's little flowers

"The brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtide beauty."
— Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Gemma is discouraged because all her friends seem to have more impressive talents than she does, and she can't figure out what makes her special. To cheer Gemma up (and maybe help her discover her gift), her mom takes Gemma and her sisters to the botanical gardens. The marvelous flowers — all so different but all so wonderful — help Gemma to see that God gave each of us our own special gifts, which he wants us to share with others. Sometimes those gifts can be hard to see, and it can take someone who loves us to show us the value of our joy, kindness, and generosity.

Beautifully illustrated with an uplifting message, God's Little Flowers is a wonderful way to show young girls that they are each bestowed with particular gifts from being made in the image and likeness of God. Through this book, every girl may come to rejoice in the glorious reality of God's unending love for her.

the road to hope

Easily one of the most important books I've worked on in my nearly twenty years in publishing, The Road to Hope: Responding to the Crisis of Addiction is what my co-author, Keaton Douglas, and I hope will be a game-changer in the field of addiction and recovery as well as in the body of the Church.

Addiction affects us all in one way or another, and so we are all called to find our place in being part of the solution--that solution being the extension of Christ's love toward those we might have once considered "other." In this way, responding to the societal malady of addiction is a means of twenty-first century evangelization, or better, welcoming people home.

I firmly believe that every one of us is a unique creation, full of dignity, worthy of love, and called to serve. But too many of the forces in our culture suggest that our value comes from what we accomplish, that we ourselves are not enough, and that we are responsible only to ourselves. Through my vocation as a wife and mother and my calling as a writer, editor, and speaker, I hope to counter this destructive mentality and offer a life-giving alternative.

don't forget to say thank you:

If there's anything I've learned in my vocation as a mother, it's that being a mom does not negate my being a child of God. When I started to reimagine the phrases I said to my kids over and over (and over) each day as words from God my Father to me, His beloved daughter, I joyfully rediscovered my true identity. Each (short!) chapter examines one of these phrases, ending with reflection questions, a prayer, and a saint to call on for further intercession. A great solo read and an excellent selection for a book club!

THe Podcast

Quote Me with Lindsay Schlegel celebrates the power of words to lead us to truth, beauty, and goodness. In short conversations about my guests' favorite quotes, I seek to glorify God and brighten your day.

Tune in to a new episode every Tuesday.

In a culture where Catholics can be tempted to believe that it is a case of either, or—either I can be a person of mature faith or I can simply go after the good things of this world—Lindsay Schlegel does not only share how both are attainable, but speaks from her own experiences of balancing her life in Christ with the call to marriage, motherhood and discipleship. Listening to Lindsay is encouraging, practical, and edifying.

I've had the pleasure of hearing Lindsay speak a number of times on various topics, and not only does she speak the truth in love and have some excellent insights, but she has the ability to connect with her audience because she speaks from the heart. A wonderful woman who lives out her faith with her husband and children in the day-to-day grind which is family life. In the midst of the craziness that family life brings, she models beautifully the gift of joy, which emanates from a life centered on Christ.

During Lindsay's talk, I could relate to so many of her stories and struggles (many with mutual laughter!) on her journey of being a mother and a daughter of God. I left with a new found energy, realizing we, as mothers, are not alone as we nurture the Catholic faith in our children and ourselves. Lindsay was funny, engaging, and very relatable. I am so glad I attended her talk and thankful to have her book to strengthen me as a mother and a woman!

Lindsay was a wonderful speaker for our Family Catechesis parents. Her message was relatable, humorous and down to earth, just what we need in faith formation these days.

Lindsay spoke at our Advent Women’s Breakfast. She made herself very available and was easy to communicate with about the details of our event. This was very impressive being she was nearly due with her fourth child! Her presentation was extremely knowledgeable about the topic we asked her to present. She is an original thinker and has many insights about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Her message was uplifting and affirming, yet gently challenging us to live fully in our walk with Our Lord!

There's no substitute for the shared experience of a conversation or presentation. Whether it's live with a group of hundreds or an intimate cross-country video conference, I am always grateful for the opportunity to connect with other women in real time.

For parents, I speak on "Being the Change You Wish to See in Your Home," and for women, I speak on "Having It 'All' as an Authentic Catholic Woman." 

I'm also happy to tailor a presentation to your group's needs.
