There's an old daily devotional on my Kindle that I find helpful call Daily Strength for Daily Needs. It was free on Amazon when I got it a couple years ago. It's general-purpose Christian.

NO NO NO! The Shack is full of heresy. If you're a cafeteria "Catholic" ( ie, fake Catholic) then read it. If you're a Traditional Catholic, and want areal book on Catholic spirituality, then the best book for you is The Three Ages of the Interior Life, by Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange.


Explain why you don't like The Shack? I thought it was amazing. But then, I'm open-minded and don't mind if there are ethnic depictions of God, etc.

This documentary proves The Shack is heresy.

God the FATHER being portrayed as a woman should tell you all you need to know. The man who wrote The Shack is a heretic.


Eh. Plenty of Catholics have read and benefited from the Shack, and I personally don't think the Trinity needs to be thought of in gendered roles. Theology evolves.

Nonsense. Theology evolves for the cafeteria Catholic. Traditional Catholic theology has been pretty much the same since the Council of Trent. Trad Catholics reject Vatican 2 of course.


Vatican two is traditional catholism - straight from the Vatican -- and sort of proof that theology evolves, though some may deny it and stay stuck in their own dark ages.

EWTN has lots of great books for sale on their website. Also consider joining a Catholic website. I've gotten some of the best references that way.

Think about what you want: heavy theology, practical advice about living as a Catholic, daily reflections?

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for, but I love anything by CS Lewis. Also, The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen.

I also love the book Left to Tell about finding God in the Rwandan Genocide. It is an inspiring book.

Best to you, OP.
