To Follow You, Light of Life

Catholic Press Association, "Second Place, Spirituality"(2006)" Catholic Press Association, Second Place, Spirituality (2006)

Translated into English by David Glenday and collected in this lovely book, these nurturing meditations offer much insight and wisdom to all Christians who desire a closer walk with Jesus. Each of the six days includes two meditations on the day's theme followed by two instances of lectio divina -- close readings of Scripture -- complete with pointed questions that will lead readers to consider their own faith journeys. Similar to the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, To Follow You, Light of Life will make ideal material for retreats, personal devotions, and group study.
