Enter to win one of four spiritual classics to read this Lent from Sophia Institute Press.
Lent is an excellent time to take up (or increase) spiritual reading. Our friends at Sophia Institute Press have curated a selection of spiritual classics that are particularly suited to this penitential season.
Psychology and the Cross by Fr. G. Emmett Carter
In this trail-blazing book, first published in 1958, Fr. G. Emmett Carter has assembled the wisest Christian thought showing how psychology can aid the Christian in achieving maturity, overcoming character defects, and conquering emotional disorders.
The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Alban Goodier
This absorbing account provides you with an intimate look at the sufferings of Our Lord through the minds and hearts of those closest to Him. You’ll see Jesus through the eyes of His apostles, of those who condemned Him, of His executioners, and of those He met along the way of the Cross. Drawing from historical research, culture, and his own profound spiritual insights, Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J., masterfully intersperses scriptural accounts and narration to bring the Passion of Jesus fully to life.
Prayers of Desperation: A Questioner's Prayer for Answers in Our Darkest Moments by Bishop Robert J. Baker
Sometimes our best prayers can be the questions we ask. Bishop Robert J. Baker, S.T.D., explains powerful ways to pray when facing the pain of abandonment, serious illness or addiction, loss of a loved one, or large-scale disaster.
Aquinas's Lenten Meditations: 40 Days with the Angelic Doctor
There’s a multitude of Lenten meditation books but only one that’s packed with the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas. Journey through Lent with the Church’s greatest philosopher-theologian. This unrivaled spiritual master will guide you in encountering Our Lord and experiencing the type of fruitful Lent that he often experienced.
