All translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, there versions are by far the best. What have you read by him and which was your favorite.

goldenchild17 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Just finished the Da Vinci Code Now I'm almost done with "The Immaculate Conception" by Bishop Ullathorne. This book is freakin awesome. Definitely the best contemporary work on the doctrine of Mary's sinlessness. Must read for all Catholics, especially apologists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadora Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 - [i]The Imitation of Mary[/i] - Alexander de Rouville - [i]Narnia[/i] series - C.S. Lewis - [i]The Rhythm of Life: Living Everyday with Passion and Purpose[/i] by Matthew Kelly - And of course, the Bible. [i]The Imitation of Mary[/i] is rocking my socks! However, I must admit, my favorite book (other than the Bible) is St. Louis de Montfort's [i]True Devotion[/i] -- that book changed my life! [i]The Imitation of Mary[/i] might be a close 2nd. If only there was more time in the day to read... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
