Spiritual Books Too Great To Put Down
BooksI love to read, but to be completely honest, I read spiritual works less than any other genre. The book I started for Lent two years ago is still unfinished, as is last year’s title. I don’t know why I can’t stay focused…
Okay, well, maybe it’s some of that, but whatever the reason I knew I needed some help in finding a spiritual book I could stick to this Lent. I asked a bunch of my favorite bloggers to make a recommendation and so many responded, I needed to draft two posts to contain them all. If you’re struggling to find a book to light a fire under your faith, check out this weeks list of spiritual books! Next week, swing back for more recommendations plus you’ll learn which religious books have actually managed to hold my interest.
Offended I didn’t ask your opinion or that your favorite book didn’t make anyone’s list? Next week’s post will also be a link up so you can share your own favorite title with everyone. I’ll keep the link-up live until Lent so you still have time to think about it if you’re not sure. (Find post #2 HERE!)
All the ladies who generously shared their top picks with me were limited to three titles and only a brief paragraph on each. You can link up a 9,000 word behemoth about your favorite 12 volume set if you’d like.And yes this post is just LITTERED with affiliate links. If you hate Amazon, don’t click on anything!!!

Sweet. I had been looking at “my sisters the saints” and “Rome sweet home”… Nice to have some more personal recommendations!
This is great! I read “My Sisters the Saints” last summer and I just loved it. I’m the same way, I have several spiritual books that I started and never finished, and one of my New Years resolutions is to re-read and finish at least some of those. I’ll try and compile a list of some of my favorites (at least the ones I actually finished, haha) for the linkup. Thanks for this! 🙂
I cried all. the. way. through My Sisters the Saints. I was also pregnant at the time…hormones?
The other two “mom” books at the top of the list look great! I’ll keep them in mind!
I Believe in Love. It’s the best book on St Therese’s little way, written by some French priest whose name escapes me at the moment. Seriously a favorite of mine. Also, Consoling the Heart of Jesus by Fr Michael Gaitely is a gem, as are any of Fr Jacques Phillipe’s books.
I’m reading and enjoying What’s so Great About Christianity by Dinesh D’Souza.
Not Catholic but he quotes Benedict XVI and St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas in a very readable way.

Rome Sweet Home is GREAT!! And this really is a great idea for Lent…With a little one due on Feb. 19, I have been wondering what I might be able to manage, and maybe a book is just the answer. 🙂
