onlygrace08 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I am currently reading: The Imitation of Christ- Thomas a Kempis Truth and Tolerence- Cardinal Ratzinger St. Benedict- Mary Fabyan Windeatt (it is from a children's series on Saints... I absolutely love them for their simplicity) My Beloved: The Story of a Carmelite Nun- Mother Catherine Thomas (I just stumbled upon this one today at our parish library and I absolutely love it!!) I am also planning on starting to reread The Story of a Soul very soon. God Bless Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 (edited) I have been wanting a copy of [u]My Beloved[/u] for a VERY VERY long time....I think I'm a smidge jealous (or is it envious?) LOL I'm reading a book about deliverence called [u]Unbound[/u] & I got a copy of JPII's [u]Rise, Let Us Be On Our Way[/u] for a $1.00 at a dollar store.... : Oh, shoot! Are book titles supposed to be underlined or in italics? Edited June 7, 2006 by brandelynmarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatcatholic Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i just started reading [i]Father Brown of the Church of Rome: Selected Mystery Stories by G.K. Chesterton[/i], Edited and with an Introduction by John Peterson. its great!! such a great break from the academic and theological books that i usually read. Chesterton is such an amazing storyteller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missionseeker Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 [u][i]Fr. Brown[/i][/u] books - I just got done reading [u]Sex and the Sacred City [/u] by Steven Kellmeyer. It was good but I was looking for a TOTB book for a friend that is having a hard time understanding why contraception is wrong. This book was reccomended for it but it only had about a parargraph on it. I don't want to get one that is too hard for her to understand or that I don't think would help her so I'm reading them all first. I don't want it too thick because I don't think that she likes to read. She's going into 11th grade. And I don't want it to be too expensive because I'm not even sure that she would read it. lol.

[/quote] Go for Christopher West's book, "The Good News About Sex & Marriage"-- it's easy to read because it's in question and answer format. And it has a whole chapter on contraception.

thessalonian Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Just read a book called Loving Jesus which is a compendium of talks Mother Teresa gave. Quick read but very thought provoking on how to love! I highly recommend it. This woman had some insight. duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 none of those are exclusively about TOTB. he writes so well about it in [u]Letters[/u] that i just figured he had written about it extensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
