Good books for...

[DAF]

So for christmas I thought i would get some of my family some books. My dad is currently reverting, and I would like to know if anybody has any suggestions for books that might help him along.

My sister isn't reverting, but she would be open to learning mroe about the faith, and maybe reverting. Would anybody have any suggestions that might help her out?

And finally, my mom is a fallen away catholic, not out of spite, but out of laziness (unless she's keeping a secret). Does anybody have any siggetions for books that might lead her back to the Church?

Thanks very much
in Christ

Head on over to Ignatius Press. They are the place to go for Catholic books of all kinds (theology, spiritual, catechisis, etc.).

try the [i]Surprised by Truth[/i] series ([url="http://www.allcatholicbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACB&Product_Code=AA25x51&Category_Code="][b]one[/b][/url], [url="http://www.allcatholicbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACB&Product_Code=SP25x11bi&Category_Code="][b]two[/b][/url], and [url="http://www.allcatholicbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACB&Product_Code=SP25x11iu&Category_Code="][b]three[/b][/url]) and [url="http://www.allcatholicbooks.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ACB&Product_Code=I25x24n&Category_Code="][b][i]Rome Sweet Home[/i][/b][/url]. conversion stories are awesome at showing lukewarm catholics what they are missing out on or taking for granted.

if someone is a revert or convert and has a theological mind that needs to be "re-tuned" to catholic, I recommend " Theology and sanity" by frank sheed
