What is "A MAP"?

You may have noticed that our website - OhioAMAP.org - has the letters

A M A P

 

Of course, there's a reason.

Two actually.

 

The first reason is that we call our location at 808 Belleview Blvd 

A Most Amazing Place.

You can find out why by clicking the "Our Story" button below.

Or by taking a look at our gallery below.

The second reason is that we want to draw your attention to one wonderful book:

A Map of Life

It's by Frank J. Sheed, a fellow who was born in Australia, taught extensively in England and Ireland, moved to New York, and for whatever reason is buried in New Jersey.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Together with his wife, Maisie Ward, he created the most important England-langauge Catholic publishing company in the 20th century: Sheed & Ward.

He founded an entirely unique ministry society that trained regular Catholic adults for street corner evangelization: The Catholic Evidence Guild.

And he personally authored more than 30 books, including a little one called:

A Map of Life

We consider this book to be one of the very best short summaries of the Catholic faith ever written.

 

Our purpose here at Havencrest Mission & Atrium is to create and teach clear, strong, reliable pathways to what all souls hope to find:

  1. Joy that surpasses sufferings

  2. True peace of soul

  3. Life-giving belonging to a gentle, generous Father who deeply loves you.

If the written word can still be a source of help in our modern world, then we'd place this book in your hands as a map to help find those three highest hopes.  

We give out copies in most of our programs.

Here's a free one for you.
