Product Overview

Bible Top Tens

This book has forty lists to intrigue you, to satisfy your curiosity, to inform you, to start a conversation, to entertain you, to challenge you.  Each item on the lists has a biblical reference and a paragraph telling more about the person, event, or saying.

The book is intended to open Scripture in a brand new way.  By organizing important people, places, and events into lists, we can reframe our experience and understanding of God's Word, while using the lists as memory aids or to provide ideas for further reading and study. 

This is a great source of topics for religious education teachers, bible study leaders or youth group leaders.  Each list would be a great conversation starter as you open your class.  The lists include:  Unsung Heroes, Villains, Women with Attitude, Miracles, Battles of the Bible, On the Mountain Top, Famous Sayings, Challenges and Punishments.  Use these lists to encourage your students to learn more on some interest that was sparked by the lists.

This compilation by Mary Elizabeth Sperry can jump start your new year's Bible studies, or give you a different way to approach reading the Bible.  If you don't agree with her list - make your own lists, in fact, the 40th list is yours to create.  Share it with friends and classmates.  Imagine the conversation you can have.

Paperback, 159 pages.  Scripture texts use the New American Bible, Revised Edition.

Lisa’s Catholic Treasures

For half a century, I’ve collected Catholic-themed wood carvings, figurines and nativities. I began selling them to family and friends via open houses 15 years ago and added an online side to the business eight years back. Now, I’ve gone far beyond figurines and nativities and I have hundreds  of different items available for sale.

Online Catholic Store

Our online store is just the place to shop for gifts or items for your own home.  We have the basics:  saints, angels and Holy Family figurines, rosaries, crucifixes, and jewelry.  You will also find items related to the sacraments - Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, as well as Advent, Christmas and Easter.

We also carry religious books from board books, storybooks, young readers, adults and bibles for all ages.  Bibles include storybook and graphic novels for young people, those designed for First Holy Communion, middle school age, high school age, and adults.  You will find New American, New Catholic, NRSV-Catholic Edition and Spanish Bibles.

There is a variety of toys available on the website as well.  We carry a large selection of Shining Light Dolls and jigsaw puzzles with a scattering of plush, saints, activity sets and more.

No matter what type of Catholic treasure you’re looking for, you’re likely to find it right here on this website.

My Background

My interest in Catholic figurines and carvings can be traced back to my teenage years when my parents brought back a woodcarving of the Madonna and Child from their trip to Europe to give to my grandparents. I searched for that same style of carving for years, but eventually received the original when my father died. But the quest has guided me and led me to start this business of providing Catholic treasures to family, friends, and new friends.

My husband and I are lifelong Catholics from the Midwest, who met at a church in Colorado. We’re still active in our local parish community more than four decades later. My husband, three grown children and their families have all helped with the business.
