Song of the Nightingale
by Michael Ford
Song of the Nightingale is a book that will inspire readers to claim
their unique vocation in life. Drawing on naturalistic imagery from
the poetry of St. John of the Cross, journalist, lecturer, and
broadcaster Michael Ford invites readers to join him as he retraces
the steps of his own spiritual pilgrimage. Starting with a serious
car accident in 1990, Ford has kept a journal to chart the highs and
lows of his inner life. He uses the nightingale's song as a metaphor
for God's calling us to claim our distinctiveness--particularly
during the dark time

The Saints' Guide to Happiness
by ROBERT ELLSBERG
In The Saints’ Guide to Happiness, Robert Ellsberg
suggests that some of the best people to show us are holy men and
women throughout history—from St. Augustine to Flannery O’Connor,
Thomas Merton to St. Theresa of Avila and Mother Theresa.
These people weren’t saints because of the way they died or their
visions or wondrous deeds. They were saints because of their
extraordinary capacity for goodness and love, which—in the end—makes
us happy. |
