LCWR publishing reflection journal

LCWR is taking orders for its 2017 book, The Intimate Nearness of God: A Reflective Journal Exploring Contemplation and Transformation. This collection of reflections is written by 30 LCWR members about how they are reclaiming and deepening the contemplative dimensions of their lives and how this focus is leading them to an even fuller embodiment of love. Artwork by Catholic sisters, as well as questions and suggestions for deepening the reader's own prayer, accompany the reflections.

Each book is $6, plus shipping and handling. Discounted prices are available for orders larger than 10. Orders must be placed online by March 10. LCWR will print only the amount of copies that are pre-ordered.  Proceeds will help defray the cost of LCWR resources and programs.
