Great Reads for Lent...





Does your spiritual life need a little kick in the pants - a little boost?  Well, check out these wonderful reads that we stumbled upon!  Happy Lent!








Magnetic Christianity - using your God-given gifts to build the kingdom
*****This book gets 5 stars!  A must read and one you can't put down.

Sinner - by none other than The Catholic Guy Lino Rulli.  A hilarious read - Lino's story of his attempts to be a good Catholic in today's world.

The Carpenter's Cloth - by Sigmund Brouwer.  A representation of what it would have been like to be a first hand witness of Jesus' journey to His Passion and beyond. Beautiful, riveting, and yes, graphic details of the scourging, crowning and crucifixion that reminds us all just how much He loves us.  Each time you read this, you will see the events of the Passion with new eyes.

The Little Way of Lent - Meditations in the spirit of St. Therese.

30 Days To Taming Your Tongue - what you say (and don't say) will improve your relationships.   Ouch!  This one really convicted me!  This is one of Immaculee's favorite books.  By the way, if you haven't read her two books Left To Tell, and Led by Faith:  Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide, these would be excellent reads for Lent as well.

Another great resource for Lent:  The Busted Halo Show's Fast-Pray-Give Calendar!  A different thought and way to put your faith into action every day of Lent, so you'll never get stuck in a rut!
