Title: Two New Books Added Post by: Shin on January 14, 2012, 03:28:42 AM Two new books have been added to Saints' Books (http://www.saintsbooks.net/BooksList.html#Featured%20Books).
First we have 'Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence' (http://www.saintsbooks.net/BooksList.html#Featured%20Books) by Fr. Jean Baptiste Saint-Jure & St. Claude de la Colombiere. Second we have, 'The Scapular' (http://www.saintsbooks.net/BooksList.html#Featured%20Books) by an anonymous author. These two books are rare treasure. The first book is worth reading repeatedly throughout one's life. It has a special place in my heart as it is one of the earliest Catholic books I ever read. I would like to see people reading it far and wide. The second book, is a pious history of the Scapular, and the Scapular Confraternity, along with a brief and pious history of the Carmelites. It is a contrast to what is often related as the new history today, a different perspective. This book reminds me of 'Divine Favors Granted to St. Joseph'. I think many wearers of the Brown Scapular have wanted to enter into the spirituality of the Carmelites and the scapular, and this small volume is I think a key to that door. It brought me closer to the scapular, and clarified some things hinted at in other books.

The first one reminds me of a similar title by St. Alphonsus de Liguori, which I absolutely loved.
