It's time for another Cake Book Walk and this one will be dedicated to all you wonderful wives/mothers who realized, when they opened their missal today in church, that there is still over a month of Lent yet to get through.
Author Meredith Gould, author of The Catholic Home, has come to the rescue with her "quirky wit and wisdom". Her writings help Catholic families focus on the servitude aspect of the Lenten season (see second book listed) and to plan a Catholic Passover Seder (see first book listed) for your family or church community. To see more of her work go to: Meredith Gould's Books

To enter the Book Walk for a chance to win one of these two books, simply email me your name and mailing address. Let your friends know about the walk. The winners will be announced on Friday, February 22.
Come to the Table: A Catholic Passover Seder (Plowshares) is a guide to help Catholic Christians honor the Jewish holiday of Passover.
