So, I had Friday off yesterday and decided to do a bit of shopping. AND I had coupons, peeps! One of my stops was Borders, that flailing and floundering bookseller. I don't expect they'll be in business for many more years. Anyway, they emailed me a 30% off one item $10 or more in the hopes that it would attract some business. Lucky for them I was in a "let's stimulate the economy!" type of mood today.
After browsing the newsstand and bargain racks, I moved on to the "buy one, get the second half off" table and spied My Life with the Saints by James Martin, SJ. It's a spiritual memoir by a Jesuit priest. Riffling through some of the chapters, I immediately felt this would be a warm read. Although I'm not Catholic, I am Christian and find the lives of many of the saints discussed in this book compelling. Especially Joan of Arc. I'll be interested to see what Martin has to say about her, specifically. Also, Therese of Lisieux. I'm always looking for books that might provide some spiritual tools as I continue along my faith journey. As I type this, I have put it on top of my "to be read" pile next to my bed, but there are several titles already battling for top spot. I need to finish a couple before I start another. But I do look forward to getting started on this one very soon. Hopefully Borders won't send me anymore coupons...because I'm so very weak. ;)
