The Lamb's Supper

The uniqueness of Catholicism is the Mass. "The Lamb's Supper," by Scott Hahn reveals a fascinating and powerful aspect of the Mass that will heighten your Sunday experience and help you understand all the crazy imagery that is found in the Book of Revelation.

The angels and the communion of saints are always our companions but this book helps to understand more fully the supernatural drama that occurs at very Mass as we worship the Lamb of God and celebrate the Eucharist. If you are looking to see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the mystery of the Mass intelligently and powerfully, this book is a great choice.

Gaudete Et Exsultate: On the Call to Holiness in Today's World

In his third exhortation, Pope Francis presents the universal call to live holy lives with a new fresh approach. Each one of us is encouraged to pursue and achieve holiness in our everyday lives. Pursuing holiness brings us into a deeper relationship with Jesus and helps us to draw other into an encounter with Him. 

This book is a "must read" for anyone serious about following "The Way" and participating in changing the culture of our world as a missionary disciple.

Time for God

"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.
