Lenten Reading Recommendations

I wanted to post a list of recommended books for Lent, however, I knew that if I came up with the list on my own the books would all be ones that I have recommended in the past. We all have our favorites. So I decided to post on Facebook looking for recommendations and got a great list of books to share with you.

• Sadness of Christ (St. Thomas More)
• Lukewarmness: The Devil in Disguise (Fr. Francis Fernandez-Carvajal)
• Obedience (Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa)
• The Love that Keeps Us Sane: Living the Little Way of St Therese of Lisieux" (Marc Foley, OCD)
• Jesus of Nazareth (Pope Benedict XVI) both books
• Great Lent (Fr. Alexander Schmemann)
• Anything by Fr. Jacques Philippe
• In Conversation With God, Lent and Easter Volume (series)
• Beginning Contemplative Prayer (Kathryn James Hermes)
• The Everlasting Man (Chesterton)
• The Screwtape Letters (CS Lewis)
• He Leadeth Me
• Father Elijah (Obrien) - I Concur John! One of my all time favorite fiction titles.
• Timothy Gallagher's books on Ignatian Prayer 
• Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons on Cana and Calvary
• The Cross and the Beatitudes: Lessons on Love and Forgiveness
• Lent and Easter Wisdom from Fulton J. Sheen

I have put the titles above (Those that I could find) on my Amazon associate page to make them easy to find. No, this is not a cheap sales pitch. I have yet to receive a penny from Amazon and have had an associate account for years. 

Personally, I will be reading Called to Life by Fr. Jacques Philippe (Kindle Edition).

Thanks go out to: Marques Silva, Kelley Peffer, Pete Cooney, Fr. Daniel Dozier, Renee Booksh, Lisa Ponchak, Teresa Pineda, and John McNichol for your recommendations.
