The story of four modern American Catholics who made literature out of their search for God
In the mid-twentieth century four American Catholics came to believe that the best way to explore the questions of religious faith was to write about them-in works that readers of all kinds could admire. The Life You Save May Be Your Own is their story-a vivid and enthralling account of great writers and their power over us. Thomas Merton was a Trappist monk in Kentucky; Dorothy Day the founder of the Catholic Worker in New York; Flannery O'Connor a Christ-haunted literary prodigy in Georgia; Walker Percy a doctor in New Orleans who quit medicine to write fiction and philosophy. A friend came up with a name for them-the School of the Holy Ghost-and for three decades they exchanged letters, ardently read one another's books, and grappled with what one of them called a predicament shared in common. A pilgrimage is a journey taken in light of a story; and in The Life You Save May Be Your Own Paul Elie tells these writers' story as a pilgrimage from the God-obsessed literary past of Dante and Dostoevsky out into the thrilling chaos of postwar American life. It is a story of how the Catholic faith, in their vision of things, took on forms the faithful could not have anticipated. And it is a story about the ways we look to great books and writers to help us make sense of our experience, about the power of literature to change-to save-our lives.Binding Type: Paperback

Amazing lotion for the low price.
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great everyday lotion and an excellent value for the price. The texture is light and creamy, not greasy, and it absorbs quickly. I like the scent, though scent preference is personal. Shipping was fast.
The only downside is the pump—it was difficult to open and required turning it counterclockwise, then clockwise, which was more effort than it should have been. Once it popped up, it works perfectly.

Best non greasy moisturizing lotion ever!!
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion is honestly probably one of the best lotions I’ve ever used. I used it for the first time today immediately after my shower and it’s the perfect consistency not too thick or thin.. not full of water either which is good because my skin absorbs instantly! Most lotions sit on my skin and make me greasy and sweaty afterwards. It also smells like HEAVEN. Chocolaty and a hint of vanilla! I won’t be buying any other lotion this now!

Great moisturizer
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream is a great alternative to the more expensive name brand creams. I have ordered this a few times and I feel like it does a wonderful job keeping my skin feeling soft, nourished and moisturized until the next time I shower.
I do not feel as though my skin is greasy or oily after using this product. The cream does not feel thick or heavy on my skin. I am able to put a pair of pants on comfortably after using cream without feeling sticky.
The cocoa butter scent is light and not over powering. There are parts of my body that I have to avoid with the cream because I do have eczema, but this is something I have grown up with and I am used to.
I have purchased the cream twice, and unfortunately, the second time I bought it the pump top came a little bit destroyed (shown in photo). The product is still fully functional and will not determine from buying this again in the future!

Satisfied
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value. Lotion is non greasy - fast absorbing and will last thru handwashing, leaves skin revitalized and soft. The smell is not as pleasant as I would like and the bottle's size makes pumping difficult. But all in all it was a good buy and worth the cons.
