Books for Lent $13.95 On the Passion of Christ - According to the Four Evangelists by Thomas à Kempis 170 pp. paperback In his famous spiritual classic, The Imitation of Christ, Thomas à Kempis reminds the reader that in order to become a follower of Christ one must imitate His life, and to accomplish this he adds: “Let it then be our main concern to meditate on the life of Jesus Christ. It is impossible to imitate Christ without first knowing Him, and the best way of getting to know Him is by meditating on His life as it is described in the four Gospels.” Thus, in this wonderful meditation book, perfect for Lent or any time of the year, the great spiritual writer and monk presents profound, short reflections on Gospel passages about the passion and death of Christ. Each chapter, focusing on a specific aspect of the Passion of Our Lord, give a prayer, a meditation and spiritual advice, and closes with another short prayer. Very much in the same style as his The Imitation of Christ, this book covers the entire Passion and makes great spiritual reading for anyone. $17.95 What Jesus Saw from the Cross by A.G.

Saints and sinners alike have loved this book ever since it was written four hundred years ago. Why? Because it offers sensible advice to help you overcome spiritual obstacles and achieve spiritual perfection. Lorenzo Scupoli was a disciple of St. Andrew Avellino, the great preacher and spiritual director. His classic Spiritual Combat was first published in Venice in 1589. “Spiritual Combat is probably one of the greatest books ever written. I can understand why St. Francis de Sales carried it in his pocket for 18 years. I’ve already read it twice. This book has put all I’m going through into perspective. I now have a peace, greater than I had before, because of this book. Thank you so much for having it on your web site.” – Ron, Maryland, USA $8.95 My Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis 474 pp. paperback Sample Illustrations:   1   2   3   4   5 At last we are able to offer this beautifully illustrated classic that has been the most popular spiritual book, second only to Sacred Scripture.
