    June 2012 The Catholic Journalist Page 27 Book Award Winners Monty Williams, SJ, Novalis Publishing, Toronto, Ontario, Canada The authors of this book have once again achieved the seemingly impossible task of joining a revered spiritual tradition with the modern media of film. Their selection of films and their ability to connect the cinematic stories with the themes of the Spiritual Exercises is truly astounding. It is hard to do justice to the incredible accomplishment that this book represents. Third Place Why Stay Catholic, Michael Leach, Loyola Press, Chicago, Ill. This is a beautifully written book which draws one to meditate deeply on one’s own loyalty to the catholic tradition.The chapters are arranged more in a monastic style of meditation and sprituality which can lead one into a deeper union with the catholic faith and the creative God.
