The Best Lenten Book You Will Ever Read


Insults. Failure. Doubt.
Temptation. Pain. Anxiety.
Separation from those we love.


How are we going to withstand the
non-stop trials of this world?





There is a way, and it’s
available to everyone.


It’s easy to follow and it’s
good for you. There are no risks
or unpleasant side effects.


It has all the answers.






This penetrating gem of a book,
this miracle of wisdom and insight,
goes behind the Gospels and inside
the riveting events of Christ’s life,
from the Nativity to the Cross.


In a style that has won praise from
Catholics for nearly a century, Fr. A.G.
Sertillanges masterfully unites the
familiar stories of the Gospels to
the particular circumstances
of Christ’s life.





In doing so it provides the
ultimate meaning to our own lives.


These stories and lyrical descriptions
of the Holy Land will enlighten your
outlook, deepen your prayer life,
and connect you to the
Living Water.





Happy are those who have stood
in the cave in Bethlehem, walked in
prayer the roads that Jesus walked,
and knelt at the tomb of
our Redeemer.


But now those who have never
visited Israel can open the rich pages of
33 Years in the Holy Land and gaze in silence
at the crib in Bethlehem, hear Jesus say to
the dismayed fishermen, “Follow me!,”
and feel the chill of Golgotha as it
looms ever larger in His mind.


Take up these pages as you
move toward Easter.


Let these reflections deepen your
understanding of the life of Christ and
fill you with gratitude for His
tremendous love for you.


Your faith will grow stronger,
your prayer life deeper, and your
understanding of suffering more
profound so that you will fear
adversity no longer.

After immersing yourself in
the life and lessons of Christ, turn
your attention to the miraculous story

pilgrimage, including:


St. Francis of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Ignatius, St. Charles Borromeo, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, St. Francis de Sales, St. Benedict Labré, St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and others.

Now you, too, can come to know
the house of the Virgin Mary . . .


. . . where tradition tells us
Mary herself was born . . .


. . . and where Jesus
became flesh and spent
his first twelve years.

Here is the comprehensive tale
of the Holy House in Nazareth, its complete
history, from construction to its miraculous
transport to Loreto, Italy, in the late 1200s.


You'll read about:
  • Its veneration in Nazareth before it mysteriously disappeared, leaving only its foundation.
     
  • Its sudden, miraculous appearance on a hillside in Italy, dismaying local residents.
     
  • How amazed Italians used exacting detective skills in Italy and later in Palestine to discover where the house had come from.
     
  • How believers have venerated Our Lady of Loreto and revered her Holy House for over 700 years now.
     
  • The 15th Century erection of a magnificent basilica over the humble Holy House, and the 16th century enclosing of the fragile structure in a grand marble encasement.
     
  • The cure in the Holy House of two Popes in succession (and the many other miracles witnessed here).


Believers will be thrilled
and consoled by the evidence
presented in these pages.


Skeptics will have their doubts
tempered and come to see that this
Holy House is a miraculous dwelling
and testament to the loving
power of God.


Obtain your copy of
The House of the Virgin Mary
and ride its spiritual power through
Holy Week and into Easter Sunday!
