Ask yourself: What do you thank God for? How do you see his influence in your everyday life? Oftentimes, God works through normal people like you and me to perform extraordinary deeds.

Lectionary Reflections, Cycle C is the third of a three-part series which offers a faith-filled experience for readers that sometimes question not only the world around them, but also their faith. The questions included at the end of each chapter are thought-provoking and intriguing, bringing readers closer to God with each chapter. However insignificant they may seem at first glance, take the time to thoroughly read each question while reflecting on her commentary, and discover her dedication in bringing others closer to God, in mind and spirit. Jill Duffield has written these lectionary reflections to assist readers from all walks of faith to share God's word with others, carrying out his works in the world. This book is intended for preachers and lay persons alike, or even new converts who may have questions as they explore the Bible.

Book Description
"The Second Vatican Council called the Bible 'the food of the soul.' Yet, for many Catholics, their engagement with Scripture is often limited to what they hear at Mass--and the dull, safe, predictable homilies that obscure rather than break open up the Word of God. In Food for the Soul, a riveting three-part series, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft invites the faithful—clergy and laity alike—to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ the Word through the Word of the Scriptures." --
