Actually I can only hope to write things that come anywhere near the wisdom of any of these writers, but I we can only keep trying to do our best. Mike, I agree with the books on your list that I have read of their merit and will check out the ones I haven't yet read. Rae,

Mike,

I agree with the books on your list that I have read of their merit and will check out the ones I haven’t yet read.

Christian, I have read most of those and agree they are great recommendations. Some others that have been especially meaningful to me include: The Way of a Pilgrim, In the Heart of the Desert (John Chryssavgis), Mystical Theology (Lossky), and Jesus' Plan for a New World (Richard Rohr). I enjoy your blog. Thank you. Peace, Mike+ Fr. Christian, I have read most of those and agree they are great recommendations.

I really enjoyed two of Norris' other books, have been meaning to read Dorthy Day, find Paul Farmer quite inspiring, started _New Seeds of Contemplation_ at a really bad time and still need to get my own copy and go back to it sometime, and am kicking myself for selling my husband's copy of _For the Life of the World_ before getting to read it myself. All that to say, I found your blog somewhat randomly and am now subscribing because anyone with these book recommendations cannot have that bad of a blog. :-) I have only read The Great Divorce and The Lord of the Rings, but I seriously want to read all of the rest of these.
