Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life: A Practical Guide to Prayer for
Active People
by Robert Spitzer
Fr. Spitzer says that the contemporary generation, perhaps more than any other, needs to integrate contemplation into its very hyperactive way of life, because contemplation allows God to probe the depths of our hearts and allows us to gain deeper insight into His truth and love. This, in turn, leads ultimately to freedom.

Less then twenty-four hours later, only one of those Navy SEALs remained alive. Marcus Luttrell delivers one of the most powerful narratives ever written about modern warfare and a tribute to his teammates, who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
