Pondering Tidbits of Truth - Volumes, 1, 2, 3 and 4
We are all busy people. There are probably more than a few days when
we give God little or no consideration - not because we don’t love Him or don’t
have a desire to get closer to Him or to learn more about Him or what He
expects of us -but because we are overwhelmed by the responsibilities and
trials of our earthly lives.
Let
me ask you a few questions? Have you promised God that you would
"fit Him" in that busy schedule of yours, but have not been
successful in doing so? Perhaps you have not yet seen the value in making time
for spiritual reading in your daily life. Are you among those who have
approached spiritual reading as being worse than going to a dentist? Are you at the point in your spiritual
life where you sense God prodding you to spend more time each day reading,
pondering and reflecting on the truths of your Catholic faith, but you do not
know where to begin or how you will find the time to do so? Fret no more. The
hard work has been done for you.
Each of the four volumes of Pondering Tidbits of
Truth sets forth 100
quotations from ancient and contemporary Catholics that will challenge and
inspire you.
Spend
just five minutes a day on one quotation. Chew on it. Dissect it. Debate it.
Repeat it. Recall it during the course of your waking hours. What is that
quotation saying to you? Is there something in it that you need to apply to
your life and spiritual journey? Stay with that pearl of wisdom until its truth
penetrates your heart and soul. Then move on to the next quotation and begin
the process anew.
Reading the quotations in Pondering Tidbits of
Truth is a simple but
sure-fire way to make certain you spend some time every day thinking about, and
being in the presence of, the God who loves you and desires to spend eternity
with you. It is an inspiring way to learn more about the Catholic Faith.
It is time to end your spiritual malnutrition!
Read these faith-enriching quotations - one soul-stirring morsel at a time!
“The Truth comes in handy. Pondering Tidbits of Truth has a
prominent place on my reference shelf.”
– Faith Flaherty
“Keep copies of these books strewn around the house.
Pondering Tidbits of Truth by Michael Seagriff are the type of books that
should be kept in the bathroom. There should also be a copy on your nightstand
(to give you something to think about as you drift off to sleep), underneath the
remote control for the T.V. (so you can mute the commercials and nourish your
soul), and in your car (to read as you wait for your kids to finish their
activity). Michael provides a collection of quotes from spiritual giants,
snippets of truth and wisdom that we can ingest in bite size morsels. Over
time, if we take advantage of his hard work, our lives may be led down a better
path for each of us.” - Dennis P.
McGeehan
"Another
invaluable source of saintly wisdom and Church teaching. In a world where the
truth is so twisted, this little volume sets the reader straight...I enjoy
these compilations immensely." - Anne Costa
“Looking for
some good, brief spiritual reading. Mike Seagriff’s slim volume, Pondering
Tidbits of Truth, fills the bill, helping to re-orient our spiritual compasses,
leading our hearts and souls to God, while recharging our spiritual batteries.
Very enjoyable, unusual quotes from great Roman Catholic spiritual leaders and
thinkers.” - Armand DiScenna
