Oooh it’s got me in! The chores will wait!

This book has really got me in and I am desperately trying to find free moments so I can continue it. The interweaving stories of the two women, written historically and presently, are written beautifully and give enough intrigue that I just want to keep turning the page and get the next piece of the puzzle.

I am loving this! So much information already and nicely written!

I am really really loving this book! I got it as preparation to cover the Mass at the youth groups I run this term, and already I am getting a lot out of it for the youth as well as for myself. I love the questions/activities at the end of each chapter!

Oh I had forgotten how much I love this story- and now I want to read the rest! First book I have actually cried with!

I love how the language of this story really takes you into the world of anne, marilla etc. just lovely!

Fairly simple and a quick read but a good refresher on the simple ways an introvert can deal with the hardest part of Ministry ;-)

A soft copy can be obtained at https://www.bookdepository.com/Heart-... but I have been reading the kindle version which has allowed me to highlight and share many passages.

Sooo enjoying this. Having taken on a role in a Sacred Heart parish this year, I felt I needed to better understand their namesake. This has been that and more. A lesson in faith, a guide to prayer, a means to enkindle a renewed spirit. Definitely recommend this.

This has explained so much already. I have been using it as research for a youth group. So good!

I think this will be my new annual scriptural reading. Very thought provoking for each days Gospel.

This book started off absolutely fantastic! However it got a bit redundant as it continued and I feel like I have been reading the introduction to the book forever. While there are a lot of good points made, I feel like I was at a uni lecture where I had trouble remaining interested even though it was my favourite topic, And I just want to go home and read the text book and get on with the crux of the issue.

My only issue with this book so far is that it is quite US focussed in terms of statistics. While he does give some worldwide views, it is obviously aimed at Americans and this can be a bit off-putting as you feel his message is more for them than anyone else. However it is certainly doable to get past this and it is worthwhile to do so.

So far this book has got me captivated. From the prologue Mr Kelly immediately grabs your attention and makes you think about your faith and how this is portrayed to others.
He then goes on to discuss some of the ways Catholicism is viewed in society and what it is that people are craving.

A heavier novena to the Holy Spirit but very thought provoking

Loving this version of the Holy Spirit novena

Quite a heavy book on mariology, as opposed to Mary the person. But very interesting nonetheless.

This is a good Easter day book!
