Living the Sacraments: Grace Into Action
by Bert Ghezzi
Today’s giveaway is a great book by our resident saint-expert, Bert Ghezzi. Living the Sacraments: Grace Into Action (Servant, paperback, 176 pages) deals with a question many people have about the sacraments: how do I “get the most” out of them? Bert’s book answers beautifully using Scripture, the saints, wise guidance, and warm personal stories. Just read some of the endorsements:
“The sacraments are the normal way that Christians comes to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That’s the way Jesus meant it to be. That the way this book tells it so well.”
– Scott Hahn, author, speaker, professor
“It takes a gifted writer to explore the sacraments in a way that does justice to their depth, but also makes their meaning come alive for the average believer. Living the Sacraments is an excellent reflection on the heart of the Catholic life by an author at the top of his form.”
– Archbishop Charles Chaput, O.F.M. CAP., Archbishop of Philadelphia
“Bert has done it again with Living the Sacraments. When read with attention and put into practice, this book could change your life.”
– Ralph Martin, author and EWTN host
