Weekly Giveaway (9/23)

“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 The Little Flowers of St. Francis a true spiritual classic (though it’s mysteriously absent from the Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan.) This book is a collection of anecdotes and sayings from one of history’s most popular saints. Here’s the description from Amazon:

A book that captures the spirit of St. Francis like no other, this is a collection of the most charming tales of the Poor One of Assisi–his sermon to the birds, the story of the wolf of Gubbio, the exploits of Brother Giles and Brother Juniper, and more.

In order to win this week’s giveaway, leave a comment below answering this question:

Who is your favorite saint and why?


The winning comment will be randomly selected on Friday morning using a random number generator, and the giveaway item(s) will be sent out, free-of-charge, shortly thereafter.

In the future I’ll be giving away many more books and resources–sometimes multiple items per giveaway. So check back next Friday!

Update: The drawing is closed for the week of Friday, September 23. Congratulations to Lila for winning this week! Check your e-mail for instructions on receiving the book. If you don’t see an e-mail from me, check your spam box–apparently e-mails with “giveaway” in the subject line often end up there.
