“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 St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary, widely hailed as one of the foremost classics on the Mother of God. From Amazon:
This book is a new English translation of a classic 18th century French work by St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort. It is the seminal treatise on Marian devotion, a must read for anyone wishing to delve more deeply into the core of Catholic spirituality and the eternal quest for holiness. Pope John Paul II once said that “the reading of this book marked a decisive turning point in my life”, and of the author he said “St. Louis-Marie is for me a figure of reference who has enlightened me in my most decisive moments”.
True Devotion to Mary, St. Louis de Montfort invites each of us to surrender, in love and in complete trust, all that we are and all that we have to our blessed Savior. In freely offering ourselves to Him, we renew our baptismal promises and consecrate ourselves to live each day in His Presence as His devoted servants.
By going to Jesus through Mary, we are taking the same humble way to our Lord as He first took in coming to us. This is the essence of True Devotion to Mary.
To enter to win, fill out your name and e-mail address in the form below. None of your information will ever be given out, and I will only use it to contact the winner. The winner will be selected on Friday morning using a random generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.
In the future, I will be giving away books, CD’s, and DVD’s, sometimes more than one item per giveaway. Check back next Friday!
(One entry per person, please. The deadline for each entry will be 11:59pm each Friday. Since I’m covering the shipping costs, only residents within the continental United States will be eligible to win.)
Update: The drawing is closed for the week of Friday, 03/04. Congratulations to Jeff T. for winning this week–check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. And check the blog for the next giveaway!
