More Book Recommendations

Here are a few more books I would like to get my hands on. To learn more about these books, click on the title text links.

I love learning about St. Therese and I Believe in Love: A Personal Retreat Based on the Teaching of St. Therese of Lisieux looks like it would be wonderful. Fr. Jean C. J. d'Elbee, a French priest deeply imbued with St. Therese's spirit, brings you her teachings on God's love and the confidence in Him that it should inspire in your soul. He also explores her insights on humility, peace, and charity; the apostolate; the Cross; and on what it means truly to abandon yourself to Divine Providence. Gain St. Therese's joy in Christ as you learn:

The secret that makes sense of the pain and trouble in your life - no matter how great.

One thing that you must cherish in your soul, or you'll never learn to love God in the glorious way of St. Therese.

Crosses: why you can't avoid them - and why you should love the ones God sends you.

How to deal with failures, reversals, and difficult moments of all kinds without losing your spiritual equilibrium.

A Mother's Rule of Life: How to Bring Order to Your Home and Peace to Your Soul looks like a book I could definitely use! In it Holly Pierlot explains the method she has used to: Get her house in order (and keep it that way!), find more time to be with her husband, make time to pray often during her day, homeschool her five kids, and even write this book in the midst of it all!

If your life seems to make no sense, or if you don't know which path to take, St. Francis de Sales will console and inform you. In Finding God's Will for You he explains to you what God's will is and how He reveals it - yes even to you, and even in the seemingly rendom events of your life.

Why Does God Permit Evil Hatred, murder, terrorism, and war spring from the sins of men. But why does God let innocent children suffer from the effects of these evils? Why does He let earthquakes devastate cities, despair drive souls to suicide, and cancer kill humans and animals? You and I would prevent these evils if we could. Why doesn't God? In these pages, Benedictine author Dom Bruno Webb brings you face-to-face with evil. Without fudging or flinching, he answers these hard questions and more. In this slim volume, he gives the most convincing explanation of the mystery of evil that's available today.
