Right now I am reading "The Slumber of Christianity" by Ted DeKker. I am only 40 pages in, but I think its quite good. Through this book, DeKker is trying to reawaken a passion for Heaven.

Paulist Press Classics in Western Spirituality Series:

Norbert and Early Norbertine Spirituality

It has parts that are oddly beautiful. But really I don't understandmost of it. Lots of questions to ask.

St Teresa of Avila's 'Interior Castle'. I was told not to read it because I wouldn't understand it, but I'm reading it anyway, and that is one piece of advice I'm glad I ignored. It's wonderful, and I'm only about a third of the way through, so I probably won't properly understand all of it. But it's absolutely worth it, anyway.
