Why Do We Believe? (Strengthening Your Faith in Christ)
C.F.R. Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel
Our Sunday Visitor, 2005
Small and loaded...
You know the old phrase "Don't judge a book by the cover?" Well, I'm ashamed to say that although I don't have a problem with the cover, I was a little disappointed at the size of the book. It is very little 4x6x.25 inches.
I'm only half way through the book and I ...

The Virtue Driven Life
Benedict J. Groeschel
Our Sunday Visitor, 2006
Great "How to" book
This is an extraordinary book. It has both explanations of the virtues and suggestions about how to incorporate them into a person's life. The tone is personal. It seems like the author is talking directly and easily with the reader.

Listening at Prayer
C.F.R. Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel
Paulist Press, 1984
Another classic from Groeschel
In one superficial sense, the reader could be put off by "Listening at prayer". It is only 88 pages of large print and could be read easily in one sitting. That would be missing the point. After all how many pages do the "Beatitudes" take? Yes, the book can be read ...

Spiritual Passages: The Psychology of Spiritual Development "for those who seek"
Benedict J. Groeschel
The Crossroad Publishing Company, 1984
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING this book!
Fr. Benedict is one of the most brilliant teachers i've ever heard. He speaks at Catholic conferences and on his own cable show in the East Coast (USA). His pellucid explanations, on diverse topics (relevant to the spiritual life of everyone), have no rival in the ...

Lourdes: Font of Faith, Hope, and Charity
Elizabeth Ficocelli
Paulist Press, 2007
Great Read!
This is a great resource on the historical and contemporary Lourdes. The first chapter of the book presents the story of the apparitions in a simple, straightforward manner. Some of the earliest accounts of Lourdes suffered from exaggeration and lack of full adherence ...

A Still, Small Voice: A Practical Guide on Reported Revelations
Benedict J. Groeschel
Ignatius Press, 1993
A practical guide for discerning spiritual matters
Perhaps one of the defining characteristics of the Catholic Church in the 20th century has been the proliferation of private revelations from Fatima to Medjugorje to Conyers, Georgia. Not every reported revelation is truly from God and not even those private ...

An Insightful book on a much neglected practice
It is common to hear confessional "horror stories" of Catholcis who had bad experiences with going to confession. In the midst of these what gets eclipsed are the vast majority of good and healing confessions that have taken place, the good priests who offer sound ...

The Passion of Therese of Lisieux: The Story of the Final Months in the Life of This Modern Saint
Guy Gaucher
The Crossroad Publishing Company, 1990
astonishing
Most books gloss over the last months of St. Therese, possibly because up until the last 40 years TB was so common that nobody really needed to hear an in depth discussion of it. After reading this book you will be deeply moved. St. Therese went through a long dark ...
