Dear John, I first learned about Franciscan Media while I was working for a successful consulting firm. Franciscan Media was one of my very first clients and they quickly became my favorite. A few years later, I left the consulting firm to work for Franciscan Media.
Hi, I am Patty Crawford, director of marketing for products at Franciscan Media. You may already know my name if you have received an email about one of our new books, journals, or clearance sales. When Franciscan Media offered me this position, I had also been offered a few positions from other companies. Those positions all paid more and had fancier titles, but none of them had the Franciscan Media mission and a culture that actually practiced their mission. The choice was easy for me. Joining the Franciscan Media family was the best professional decision I have ever made. Every day, I have the opportunity to pray with my colleagues. Then I spend my workday sharing books that have changed my own spiritual life for the better. I can whole-heartedly stand behind what I am marketing. Our leadership team guides us in ways that show that our “business” is truly spreading the Gospel, like Saint Francis did. One of my favorite books from Franciscan Media is Breathing Under Water by Fr. Richard Rohr. This powerful, yet encouraging, book is for people whose attachments in this life take them away from God’s plan. The more I read Breathing Under Water, the more I see God’s love and plan for me more clearly. It is like cleaning out the distractions and finding serenity. I am so grateful to Franciscan Media and to people, like you, that support our mission. If you haven’t yet, please consider making a donation now. Thank you for helping us follow in Francis’ footsteps in a new technological age. |
