Through Esther's Eyes by Jacqueline St. Clare
If you're a fan of "The Chosen," you will love this extraordinary first novel about the "hidden years" of Jesus of Nazareth, as seen through the bright green eyes of his fictional cousin, Esther. Like the classic novel, The Red Tent, and the acclaimed film, "The Passion of the Christ," Through Esther's Eyes transports readers to first-century Palestine. You may know the story, and how it ends, but will be enthralled at the fresh perspective. Available at a special paperback price (use discount code LENT24) and as an eBook.
Lord, You know everything: A Marian Father's Confession of Faith by Fr. Peter Kieniewicz, MIC
"This is a very personal book," admits Fr. Peter Kieniewicz, because although at its center is Jesus and His work of salvation, it is actually a confession of faith by the author, a Marian priest in Poland, who shares with the reader his experience of God. This book is a Paschal story, perfect reading during Lent. It begins with Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. We accompany the Lord in His Passion; with the Apostles we wait for the Resurrection and the sending of the Holy Spirit; and then — like them — we are sent into the world to proclaim the Good News.
The Chaste Heart of St. Joseph: A Graphic Novel by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC
During Lent we have the Solemnity of St. Joseph on March 19! How much do you really know about St. Joseph? He was once a little boy and played like all children. He had royal blood, and could have been a king. He was a young man when he married Mary. He was a wonderful father to Jesus. He was the brave and steadfast protector of the Holy Family. He's the model of manhood. He's worked many miracles and is a powerful intercessor for us . . . And he had a pure, chaste heart. Join Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, as he tells the dynamic and inspiring story of St. Joseph, our spiritual father and the "Terror of Demons," in this unique graphic novel for the entire family, illustrated by Sam Estrada.
