Book Evangelization
I have an Amazon Wishlist of books that I like to give to people on certain occasions, such as marriage or discerning priesthood/religious life, or that I have found helpful in growing in our faith and as human beings, such as on Theology of the Body or Scripture. You can support by purchasing the books and they will automatically be shipped to me.
