BOOKS

Any of the following Books should be read: Choose one. The goal is not that you have any or all of them read by the end of Lent.

the goal is to allow them to feed your mind and so feed your faith. A group may choose the same book for everyone or each member might read a different one and if they get to the end of it – swap it with another man for his book.

Pope Benedict XVI – Jesus of Nazareth – Vol II, Holy Week

Brant Pitre – Introduction to the Spiritual Life

These books will mean incurring an expense – but a considerable amount of money will be saved because of the other disciplines you are imposing on yourself these 40 days. Often the Kindle version is cheaper. Your local Library may have the book or may be able to order it in for you.
