The word of God is the Father's love letter to his children, meant to be used as a blueprint for our lives to guide us, encourage us, support us — and challenge us — through the journey of our earthly home. The Bible is both "living and effective" (Hebrews 4:12), and promises to offer the answers to every question that ultimately lies in the deepest recesses of our hearts. The Safe Haven: Scriptural Reflections for the Heart and Home offers meditations on the daily liturgical readings that serve to speak to our everyday lives, from well-versed theologian to busy parent. -Learn to understand not just the story of what happened then, but also the story of what's happening now -Unlock spiritual insights through the voice of God speaking through his written word -Discover the key to letting go of old resentments and unhealthy habits -Find the secret to peace in all things -Gain true freedom from fear and anxiety armed with the knowledge of God's word -Transform your life! This Lent, welcome daily the word of God into your heart like you never have before... and may your home become for you a safe haven . "In entering so personally into these gospel passages we place ourselves in the ongoing story of salvation...This deeper look....make[s] it more fruitful though, fruitful to true self-awareness, fuller repentance and ultimately a freer, more honest relationship with our Lord...With the aid of a friend like M.C. Holbrook, we can make the most out of our observances and draw closer to Jesus each Lenten day." -- Suellen Brewster, Catholic Stand
