Journals & Letters now an e-book
Journals and Letters of Mother Theodore Guerin was first printed in 1937. It’s sold thousands of copies and has been reprinted three times, proving it as a lasting favorite.
This book gets so much love around here! Each person’s copy shows it in a different way. Some are bulging with post-it bookmarks. Some have underlines and notes and margin scribbles. Many are dog-eared and soft on the edges from years and years of use.
And now, for the first time, Journals and Letters will be available as an e-book too!
Though e-books might not have the same tangible quality as “real” books do, they come with their own set of perks. Depending on your e-reader, you’ll be able to bookmark pages, make notations, and jump right to footnotes, index entries and photos. You can even search the book easily to find your favorite quotes.
This digital edition has all of the same literary greatness you’re accustomed to from Saint Mother Theodore, plus a new foreword from Sister Denise Wilkinson. Find the book here in Amazon’s Kindle store, the iBooks store or many of your favorite e-book retailers.
