Produktbeschreibung
Through Lent with John's People is written for readers short on time but long on a desire to grow in faith during the Lenten season. For each day of Lent, the book provides a passage from the Gospel of St. John and a brief reflection on how our lives and attitudes compare with those of the people whose encounters with Jesus are portrayed in that passage. Two to four questions for prayerful consideration close each entry. The book offers busy readers a time-efficient means of engaging in the ancient Catholic practice of lectio divina, and its "four movements": lectio (reading a passage of Scripture), meditatio (meditating on that passage), oratio (praying about the passage) and contemplatio (contemplating the passage). Written by Tom Garry, a Catholic husband, father, small business owner and member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, the book combines an appreciation of the pressures of modern life with the time-honored Dominican tradition of Scripture-based inquiry and contemplation. Published by DNS Publications, the publishing arm of the Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual Rosary in Summit, NJ, the book carries the nihil obstat, as well as the imprimatur of the Archbishop of Newark. Through Lent with John's People provides an ideal way for you or someone you love to make next Lent more meaningful.

Autorenporträt
Mr. Thomas Garry, OP, is a member of the Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic, Caldwell University chapter, and a parishioner of St. Catharine Roman Catholic Church in Glen Rock, NJ. He and his wife, Sandy, have three children, Meghan, Brendan, and Erin. Tom has served in his parish as a lector, Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, Confirmation class teacher, basketball coach, and homeless ministry volunteer. He also has been active in pro-life and anti-poverty efforts. A medical writer by profession, Tom also has written for a number of Catholic publications, including Columbia, Our Sunday Visitor, and the Archdiocese of Newark's newspaper, The Catholic Advocate. He has a bachelor's degree in international relations and a master's degree in political science from American Military University, and a master's degree in economics from the University of London. Through Lent with John's People is an outgrowth of his (quite imperfect) practice of lectio divina, the ancient Catholic tradition of prayerful contemplation of Scripture cherished by St. Dominic and all who seek to follow him in the Dominican family he established more than 800 years ago.
