jingsmile Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 [font="Optima"][color=red] i was reading two books that i thought were very good so far, and thought some other people might like to check them out or comment... The New Faithful: Why Young Adults are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy, by Colleen Carroll and Young and Catholic, by tim drake i had to give them back to my friend after reading the first few chapters, but they were really interesting and i can't wait to finish one that i actually finished and recommend for anyone is wild at heart by john eldredge...not specifically catholic, but some good interesting views nonetheless ;-) - jennie [/color][/font]
Brother Adam Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Letters To a Young Catholic by George Weigel is excellent.
inDEED Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions...I'm gonna look up all these books on Amazon...
Dj 86 Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Same here. Has anyone read "He Chose The Nails" by Max Lucado? If so is it any good?
Catholic_Pinoy Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 I really liked [u]The Girl I Left Behind[/u] and [u]Deep River[/u], both by Shusaku Endo. There aren't many Japanese Catholic authors out there.

BigRedJ07 Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Pope Fiction and if you like fiction, Pierced by a Sword... that book is really koolio!
corban711 Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 i am reading "wild at heart" by john eldridge...so far so good!
philothea Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Just finished two books by Thomas H. Green, S.J. [i]Weeds Among the Wheat[/i], about discernment, and [i]Drinking from a Dry Well[/i], about (advanced) contemplative prayer. Both were bought to answer to particular questions, and both books delivered. But, for some reason I found them hard to read. I seem to have that trouble with Jesuit stuff. Can't read St. Ignatius at all... and I have no trouble with any other saint's writing! Anyway, I recommend [i]Weeds Among the Wheat[/i] if anyone needs help on how to go about discerning God's will in your life. It was very thorough. For contemplative prayer there are better choices than [i]Drinking from a Dry Well[/i] unless, of course, you have the same particular question that I had.

His two year old son recognized St. Michael on my St. Michael's medal. I know I wouldn't have when I was 2. His four year old told me she wanted to be a nun. If his family is like that, how can his book not be good?

MissScripture Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I should add, I am going to read the book as soon as I can.
BeenaBobba Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 [quote name='jingsmile' date='Mar 31 2005, 11:53 PM'] The New Faithful: Why Young Adults are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy, by Colleen Carroll [/quote] Carroll was on EWTN before. I remember thinking her book looked really interesting. I'll have to add it to my reading list.
jingsmile Posted May 11, 2005 Author Posted May 11, 2005 [font="Optima"][color=red] also good if you like fiction is stuff by louis de wohl...i've read The Spear, which is about st. longinus, and A Quiet Light, about st. thomas aquinas, both wonderful stories. that's really cool about tim drake's son how absolutely precious! my fiance gave me letters to a young catholic, but that's another one i haven't finished...he gave me all these books and stole them back [/color][/font]
