Truly Inspiring and Beautiful!

Love this book! Beautiful addition to my coffee table books. Stunning design and photos! Inspirational stories! This book is worth every penny and anyone who buys it/receives it will love it. It’s something to treasure for years.

Brings the Sacraments to life

This book is such a beautiful vision of the sacramental life of the Church. The beautiful pictures and reflections personalize and make real the deep mysteries of our faith. I loved Sam Guzman's reflection on Marriage and found so many real life stories which helped me to understand and think about the sacraments differently. Such a treasure!

Compelling and Contemporary

The compelling photography drew me in to find truth, beauty and goodness. With contributions from St. Cyril and St. Ambrose to Kendra Tierney and Lila Rose, I found encouragement and instruction to support my faith and reason. This book is a great resource for teachers of the faith and would make a great gift.

Beautiful and Uplifting

Spirit and Life merges meditations on the Sacraments with stunningly beautiful art, bringing to life and elevating the reflections. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, Church Fathers, clergy and laity, this book is a great resource for contemplating the gifts of the Sacraments. Each time I read a section or enjoy the incredible photography, I am struck by awe and wonder and find something deeper to reflect on. Truly a remarkable meditation aid!
