Sister Rose Therese Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm reading the [i]Autobiography of Dina Belanger[/i] right now[i]. It is really an amazing book, and i would definitely recommend it as spiritual reading. [/i]Also for all those out there with no money for books, there have been some online libraries that are really building up collections. There is [url="http://www.ccel.org/"]http://www.ccel.org/[/url] not a catholic site but that have an amazing collection of Catholic clasics. There is also [url="http://www.archive.org/index.php"]http://www.archive.org/index.php[/url] Which is an odd collection of about anything, but I have found a few things there that I haven't found anywhere else.

abiding-soul Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I am reading a book on Mother Theresa and I just started on "The City of God" by St. Augustine. Both are good so far. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [quote name='Nathan' post='963466' date='Apr 27 2006, 10:50 PM']Similar to those never-ending "What Are You Listening To?" threads I see on countless messageboards, I thought I would start a thread about the books we are reading. And what better place than the Word forum. Phatcatholic, you might want to make this a sticky. Here goes: At the moment I am finishing up [i]The History of the Bible in English[/i], by the late Scripture scholar F.F. Bruce. As its title implies, the book chronicles the development of the English Bible from a historical (and critical) standpoint, from the earliest indecipherable Old English translations to Wycliffe's Bible to the Douay-Rheims and Authorized Versions, all the way through to the modern biggies like the RSV, JB, NEB, NAB, NIV, etc. Many, many rare "specialty" translations, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, are also discussed. It is excellent; insurmountably informative, and quite an entertaining read to boot. I recommend it highly. What about you?[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
