If you have access to a public or university library, you may be able to use their [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlibrary_loan"]interlibrary loan[/url] system to get [i]Catch Us Those Little Foxes[/i]... according to [url="http://www.worldcat.org/title/catch-us-those-little-foxes/oclc/3978100&referer=brief_results"]Worldcat[/url] there are 34 copies of it in various libraries across the US. ILL is a great way to access hard to find/out of print books.

For those discerners who are university students, spend some time on the library website and see if there's a way for you to request purchase of a book. Most libraries set aside a certain amount of money to fulfill requests from students and faculty, so they might as well buy a few good Catholic books while they're at it.

It was nice to see this thread, I have a couple to share! Both of them I got at a discernment visit to a Carmelite Monastery. The one I purchased is "Divine Intimacy" which most people on here have probably already heard of, or have it. The other one is called "The Gift Of Oneself." From the French of Father Joseph Schryvers C.SS.R. and it was translated by a religious of Carmel. Reverend Mother gave me this one, and I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking a deep interior life with Our Lord; its a book to read over and over again. "The Gift Of Oneself is really a profound probing into the life, work and love of the hidden soul who is devoted to the work of God in a life that is modeled after Our Lady's, in a life of giving one's all, but remaining unseen, or at least unnoticed and un-noted by the world, and for the most part unappreciated by all save God, who sees into the heart and knows all." It is a very simple book but one that is a reminder of the simplicity and humility of a soul surrendered to Our Lord and it just reminded me so much of Our Blessed Mother.
