The Message Contest

I would like to thank the wonderful people at ACTA Publications for providing me the following new books for this contest. The theme for this contest is The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition. The winner will receive a paper back edition of The Message: Catholic/Ecumenical Edition, along with Great Men of the Bible by Martin Pable and Faith, Friends, and Other Flotation Devices by Michele Howe, both of which utilize The Message. These two books are great resources that can be used for private reading or devotional use, along with being excellent for men's and women's fellowship groups.

Rules for the contest:

1) If you have an active Facebook or Twitter account, please announce this contest. If you don't, that is OK. You can still enter the contest.

2) Please enter your name in the comment section of this blog post. I (or my wife) will randomly draw one winner at the conclusion of the contest, which will be on Sunday October 18th at 11:59 PM.

3) I will announce the winner on Monday October 19th. The winner must contact me, via email, within a week with their full name and address. I will ship the the books free of charge.

4) One entry per person.

5) Contest is only available to those who live in the United States.

Would "The Message" be a good bible suggestion for people in my confirmation/RCIA class who have never read the bible? We're currently using the NAB. Our class has a good mix of people ranging from 17yrs-50+yrs.; October 15, 2015 at 10:52 PM

Prayer of Thomas Merton

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
