Laudate_Dominum Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 My picks: 1. St. Bonaventure's commentary on the sentences, in latin of course. 2. [b]The Memorial[/b] and [b]The Instructions[/b] of Blessed Angela of Foligno. Paulist press publishes this in their classics of western spirituality series and I consider it to be one of the most incredible texts that I've ever encountered. 3. [b]The Flowing Light of the Godhead[/b], by St. Mechtild and Magdeberg (sp). You must read this book nine times to understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader_4 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hey i am going 2 suggest a book that is remarkable and is by a famous Catholic author its not as deep per say as the others suggested but has given me a great understanding nonetheless of things. Its called "The Quiet Light" its by the famous Catholic author Louis de Wohl. Its remarkable with a realy mystical feel to it here are some sites about it and what folks think.

dlz7486 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 If you want to read a really awesome book, pick [u]Letters to a Young Catholic[/u] by George Weigel. I never read theology, but this one is awesome. It's directed towards young adults, but everyone must read it - young and old. It will really wake you up to the true greatness of the Catholic faith. I loved every page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 How about An Introduction to Mary by Dr. Mark Miravalle? I'm reading it now and it's pretty awesome. Twelve years in Catholic schools and it seems that I am learning more about Mary in this book then those teachers ever taught me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
