Stirring Slumbering Souls predated our Bishops' plea to rediscover belief in the Real Presence. This book received a Seal of Approval from the Catholic Writer's Guild. It provides fuel to set your heart ablaze and reignite your love for our ever-present Eucharistic Lord.
Look at what others have had to say about this remarkable and timely book - Stirring Slumbering Souls - 250 Eucharistic Reflections
This book accomplished what author
Michael Seagriff hoped: that is to ignite my heart and stir my soul to love
Jesus more and more. The words contained in this volume speak Truth and breathe
Life and offer the reader a broad sampling of some of the finest thoughts and
reflections on the Eucharist--our source and summit and surest Love. I can't
wait to get to Adoration!...“Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful gem
with me. I feel like every single Catholic should read it and have a copy and
then share it with someone who isn’t and then we would be all set in this
world. Such richness here and it stirs up so much in the soul.

Stirring Slumbering Souls is an eloquent treasury of Eucharistic reflections
which you will enjoy reading over and over again. I read the reflections during
Eucharistic adoration and just before bedtime. They were comforting, peaceful,
insightful, and gave me a new appreciation and love for the Eucharist. I highly
recommend this book for all who desire to grow in their love of Jesus in the
Eucharist.

If you bring this book with you to
adoration, there is material enough to meditate upon for weeks or even months.
Seagriff then supplies ten questions for further reflection, testimonies of
adorers, and various prayers. I can't imagine anyone reading this book without
their devotion to the Blessed Sacrament increasing.

Stirring Slumbering Souls is a beautiful anthology from saints, mystics and friends of Jesus.
This book has the potential to facilitate deeper reflection and response for
its readers who truly seek to grow in their faith and appreciation for the
Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. For some, just one quote could bring the
moment of change and profound conversion for which they have longed. For
others, this will be a companion to them in their prayer times at home and in
Church. As for me, it will be among my select and treasured go-to spiritual
books.

This book of beautiful reflections
contains inspiring quotes from priests, religious, lay people and saints. An
ideal resource to take to Eucharistic Adoration. Highly recommend!

Michael Seagriff’s recently
published, Stirring Slumbering Souls, gently reminds us that “to the Real
Presence of Jesus, we often respond with our real absence!” (Father Florian
Racine)…Seagriff reminds Christians of Jesus’ love and longing for us. Sadly,
many who profess a belief in God’s presence in the tabernacle, casually enter a
church still distracted by the cares of the world. If Saint Matthew (16:17-18)
asks Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes, but fail to see? Do you have
ears, but fail to hear? Michael Seagriff answers with a carefully researched
collection of two-hundred and fifty meditations that document the church’s
response to Jesus’ call to intimacy.

Seagriff has done an exceptional job
at bringing together all the voices, that we need to hear. Voices that sing the
same song: Spend time with Jesus now, in faith. If you can’t find the time, or
the desire, to spend time with Jesus now, then why should Jesus think that you
would want to spend eternity with him, later?
Ginny Lieto
Michael Seagriff describes himself
as a simple man, but his thoughts and reflections, and his choice of 250
Eucharistic Reflections in 'Stirring Slumbering Souls', are anything but
simple. Rather, his choice reflects his profound love of his Lord and his
devotion to The Eucharist. Buy a copy and keep it with you to read and re-read.
You will be profoundly moved.

There are so many decisions we each
make, daily, that lead us towards or away from holiness. The saints were never
perfect. But each day, aware of God's unconditional forgiveness and love, they
set out to strive for holiness, and to love each other and God as He loves us.
If we were not sure what role Eucharistic Adoration has played in the making of
our saints, Michael's new book, "Stirring, Slumbering Souls," leaves
ZERO doubt!

As Lent draws to an end, this is the perfect time to get your copy here.
