zunshynn Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I just ordered the second volume of Fire of Mercy, Heart of the Word by Erasmo Leiva-Merikakis. I'm so excited. I had been reading the first volume when I left the monastery, and was almost finished with it. I have really been wanting to read the rest, but it was kind of an expensive book, but I just found the second volume for less than half of the original price! I can't wait. I hope I can find a similar deal for the first volume. I'd HIGHLY recommend it. It's a fantastic book on the Gospel of St. Matthew... very meditative, rich, designed to help you through Lectio Divina with the Gospel of St. Matthew.

zunshynn Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm rereading the Cantata of Love and I still kind of reading The Evidential Power of Beauty, although I'm not really getting anywhere with it. Tooo bad, its a really good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laetitia crucis Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Only made it halfway through St. Gemma Galgani's biography. I just couldn't handle it. (Sorry, St. Gemma! ) What I did read was good for my humility nonetheless. In the last two-three weeks I've read [i]Dominican Spirituality: Principles and Practices[/i] and [i]Renewal[/i] by William Hinnebusch, OP and [i]The Shack[/i]. Currently re-reading Mother Angelica's biography by Raymond Arroyo. Planning on reading St. Louis de Montfort's [i]True Devotion[/i] again after I finish Mother Angelica's bio.
