The Catholic Hipster Handbook:

The Catholic Hipster Handbook: Rediscovering Cool Saints, Forgotten Prayers, and Other Weird but Sacred Stuff Edited by: Tommy Tighe
Non-Fiction: Religion, Pop Culture, 200 pages
Physical Book Count:18
Book Count:49

This book is made up of chapters written by a number of Catholic personalities including: a priest, religious sister, bloggers, writers, and people that work in Catholic media.  Each chapter starts talking about some topic related to the theme of that section of the book, followed by a cool saint, a "forgotten" prayer, and an activity.  There are 4 sections in the book, on rediscovering: the attitude, stuff, life and attraction of being a Catholic.  Now, some of the saints are well known, and some you might not have heard of before.  The same can be said of the prayers, some were fairly common prayers that are things like: Psalms, prayers used in the Liturgy of the Hours, or other well known ones.  Others were things like a prayer written by that chapter's saint with you are less likely to know if you didn't already know a fair amount about that saint.  The activities range from things that you could do right then to more long term things.
