Reading Revisited is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Meredith Hinds is a Catholic wife and mom who moonlights as a freelance writer and editor. Her first project for children was A Saint A Day, a devotional published by Tommy Nelson. She also wrote Eucharistic Saints, a collection of stories about 25 Saints' love for the Eucharist, published by TAN, and is currently writing another round of Saint bios for teens with YDisciple. Meredith is having her sixth baby in September and runs a Substack newsletter called Still Today, which is essentially a mom blog, but Kelsie Hartley thinks that it's one of the funniest things on Substack, and you should definitely subscribe to it.
