Hello Everyone.
I have been thinking about creating a Catholic library.
I have several books already. But I really want to make it bigger and better. I have also been buying more catholic audio books on audible.
I have been listening to Surrounded by love by Murray Bodd OFM
And I like it, but then I am a Franciscan.
When I started my Spiritual Assistant class I had to buy many books. Enough to fill one page. Here are some of the books I have. Some are Catholic and some are more specifically Franciscan.
The Lesson of St.Francis
Manual for men
Eucharistic Adoration
The Hidden power of the Gospels
Ritual of the Secular Franciscan Order
Pocket guide for the rosary
Vatican two in plain English
St.Francis and the third order
Paths of renewal
Armchair mystic
Salt and Light
Prayer Everywhere
To Light a fire on the earth
Rediscover saints
The Power of Silence
Your life is worth Living
Called
I have read the pocket guide for the rosary and also the Power of Silence. Both books are good but very different. the pocket guide is just that and the power of Silence is telling us to be silent again and turn down the noise of everyday life and get back to silent prayer.
I have been reading more Catholic / Franciscan books for class.
And I have been listening to most on my commute to and from work.
So if you can try to set up a small library of books to help you on your journey to God. I have one small laptop desk with a book shelf on it
It’s small buy growing and that’s all that matters.
Have you read Dan Burke’s Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits yet? The Catholic Guys talk show interviewed him last month which prompted me to order the book. It’s quite a nice read from which I was able to take away two important learnings though, if I read the book again in the future, I’m sure I would take away more.
