Maria Valtorta's writings are some of the most spiritually edifying writings I have ever read. Edited August 14, 2008 by Rising_Suns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) The Bible Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte) Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) The Twilight Series as one (Stephanie Meyer) [/quote] Oh... I want to take P&P. Didn't want to post it here, though, that's bad for my catholic nerd-status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlmom Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Obviously not going into religious life, but I'd take these with me anywhere: Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis DeSales Wisdom of the Desert by Thomas Merton A Life-giving Way, A Commentary on the Rule of St. Benedict, by Esther deWaal Compassion, A Reflection on the Christian Life, by Henri Nouwen, D. Morrison, D.McNeil Otherwise (a book of poetry) by Jane Kenyon My holy picture would be either the Madonna of Czestochowa or JP2 Interesting thread!
