"Time for God," is another book by Jacques Philippe that is easy to read and understand and yet profound and full of life changing truths. It answers so many questions that you may be wrestling with in regards to prayer. This is not a book to read through quickly though, it begs you to take your time, to reflect deeply on a page or passage, and to slowly transform your prayer life, leading you to a closer and more intimate relationship with God.

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist,” by Brant Pitre does a marvelous job of sharing his knowledge and research into Jewish traditions and Old Testament Scripture that is easy to read yet provides a  wealth of information on the Last Supper. Want to know what the Passover was like at the time of Jesus and what Jesus meant when he said, "This is my body...This is my blood? This book opens your eyes to the magnificent story of God's presence - the mystery that we are called to see and are invited to partake in. It helps one truly believe in the mystery of the real presence of Christ, body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist.
