This month, during a time that we are required to stay home, I am recommending that you check out the Toronto Public Libraries’ online books. Go to Toronto.overdrive.com

For Easter books for your children, do a search under “Easter” and you will find a large number of books that you can download.

For adults, do a search under “Christian faith” or “Christian hope” to find many books that may be of interest. I have browsed through the titles, looking specifically for books for Lent/Easter and for the troubling times that we are all currently experiencing. Here are some suggestions. • Women of Easter, Liz Curtis Higgs • The hope of glory: reflections on the last words of Jesus from the cross, Jon Meacham • The power of knowing God, Kay Arthur • Show me the way, Henri Nouwen • The passion and the cross, Ronald Rolheiser • Traveling mercies, Anne Lamott • Ten prayers that changed the world: extraordinary stories of faith that shaped the course of history, Jean-Pierre Isbouts • Uplifting prayers to light your way, Sonia Choquette • Following Jesus: finding our way home in an age of anxiety, Henri Nouwen • Surprised by hope, N.T.
