Gaouette and Leslea Wahl are joined by author Corinna Turner to discuss sacrifice.* --- CatholicTeenBooks.com was founded upon the desire to provide entertaining Catholic fiction that can build your faith. With this goal in mind, authors T.M. Gaouette and Leslea Wahl have taken it a step further by creating the Faith Through Fiction video blogs. These blogs will delve into the issues that teens face and present edifying fiction that addresses relevant themes.  Lent is all about self-denial...sacrifice. It’s about giving up those things that we have come to desire or rely on. It means showing discipline, strength, and sometimes even courage. But while sacrifice is the epitome of Lent through the very pillars of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, sacrifice is not reserved for Lent alone. It should be practiced on a regular basis. Join T. M. Gaouette and Leslea Wahl, along with guest author, Corinna Turner, and learn more about what it means to sacrifice.    #### Resources featured in this video: Books discussed:   *I Am Margaret* by Corinna Turner  *The Kings Prey* by Susan Peek    *St. Magnus, The Last Viking* by Susan Peek  *Rightfully Ours* by Carolyn Astfalk  *Chasing Liberty* by Theresa Linden  *7 Riddles to Nowhere* by AJ Cattapan   *Treachery and Truth* by Katy Huth Jones  *The Other Side of Freedom* by Cynthia T.
