“Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.” – St. Augustine
Because I’ve built up a large collection of duplicate books and resources, each week I’m giving away one or more of these items, absolutely free, no strings attached. You can enter anytime during each week for that week’s giveaway, with a new giveaway beginning each Friday. To see a list of past giveaways, go here.
This week’s giveaway is a copy of Scott Hahn’s The Lamb’s Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth. Hahn’s book beautifully explores the Mass and the Eucharist through the lens of Revelation. Written by one of Catholicism’s most brilliant Scripture scholars, this book was one of the most enlightening books I read after entering the Church. Here’s the description from Amazon (where it has 155 five-star reviews!):
The Lamb’s Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth reawakens a surprising ancient view of the Eucharist, as the harbinger of the supernatural drama described by the New Testament book of Revelation. Catholic theologian Scott Hahn thinks that many worshippers receive the sacrament of communion without ever considering its links to the end of the world, the Apocalypse, and the Second Coming. Hahn wants to change our minds; he wants us to know that “The Mass–and I mean every single Mass–is heaven on earth.” Literally. So, Hahn declares, “Now heaven has been unveiled for us with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ … Jesus Christ Himself says to you: ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me’ (Rv. 3:20).” Hahn’s enthusiasm, as evident even from these short quotes, is considerable–and infectious. Furthermore, he delivers his arguments with great levity (demonstrated in chapter titles such as “Oath Meal”), which makes The Lamb’s Supper quite a tasty read.
