If anybody has any good info. / books on her could you please PM me with your help/recomendations! I'd really appreciate it!

Two of my new year's resolutions this year were to read the entire Bible and Catechism this year. In addition, I am trying to keep to a regular schedule of jotting down my thoughts or observations in a blog [url="http://www.byhisauthority.blogspot.com/"]if anyone cares to critique me should I go astray of Catholic teaching[/url]!

I also read with great amusement someone's entry from April 2006 on this thread which claimed they were reading the Imitation of Christ and "enjoying it immensely." Either they were reading a forgery, or they were being quite sarcastic as I don't recall anything enjoyable about that book other than the discussions my friends and I had about how unworthy we are!

If anyone is looking for some good fiction, you should check out deWohl and O'Brien. I was introduced to deWohl by reading The Restless Flame, which is historical fiction about the life of St Augustine. My personal favorite by him is The Spear which follows the last days of Christ from the Centurion's point of view -- a great book to read during Lent!

Im in the midst of some spiritual reading currently.

Working on Love and Responsibility by yours truly Karol Wojtyla

Just got, for Christmas, the book called Legacy by Stephen Wood, about Christian fatherhood (by my best man, who, ironically enough, is in seminary lol)

Continuing work on Clean of Heart by Rosemarie Scott

Finally, I just received in the mall Evangelium Vitae which I plan on working though coming soon.

God bless

Just finished "The Great Divorce"- C.S. Lewis. I would definitely recommend reading this one. Amazingly insightful and downright crazy! I loved it.

About to start "The Space Trilogy"- C.S. Lewis. I heard it was amazing and I don't doubt it when it comes to Lewis.

I got an old- 1882- pocket size "Of the Imitation of Christ" by Thomas a' Kempis which had been passed on from a devout elderly parishioner who recently passed away (RIP).

I can't get enough of this book.

Theology of the Body in my spare time by JPII, but I'm taking 4 theology courses this semester so I'm reading quite a few others as well... but that's ok... they're amazing!

I just finished "Reflections on the Psalms" by C.S. Lewis. My pastor recommended it. A great read. Now, have to read his others too.
My pastor also suggested I start reading Chesterton. I bought "Orthodoxy" so will give that one a shot. :book:

That is pretty much what my Pastor said. That he had a great intellect and a great wit. I can't wait to get started.
