Book Review: To Be Like Jesus – Inspiration from the Gospel of Luke

I recently received a copy of To Be Like Jesus – Inspiration from the Gospel of Luke to review from The Catholic Company. This book is a gem.  Sister Ann Shields gives us 31 passages from Gospel of Luke followed by a reflection on the scripture.  She also includes an additional scripture at the end of each chapter for further reflection.  The book is set up to be read once a week in preparation for Sunday Mass, as the Gospel of Luke is read during Ordinary Time Cycle C.  However, I think this book makes a great devotional for any time of the year.  The reflections are really practical and thought provoking.  Even a passage that I’ve heard a million times, Sister Ann puts a new spin on it and helps me see something new.  I think this makes great pre-lent reading–it really helps me to set my focus on being more Christ-like.
