I talked about these already in the video of books for the Pauline Year, but just in case you skipped the video, these two books by Michael Gorman are high on my list:
Cruciformity
Gorman’s other book,
Apostle of the Crucified Lord, is more of a text book.
This one is for meditation! The spirituality of St. Paul predates that of the
Carmelites, Franciscans, Dominicans, Benedictines…and they all use him for a foundation. You know…”take me as your model, as I take Christ”?? Highly highly HIGHLY recommended.
Apostle of the Crucified Lord
Very informative but not so cerebral that you can’t enjoy it. Covers everything about St. Paul (and the maps and pictures don’t hurt either!). It’s a good review of his life and something worth reading during this year dedictated to him.

You’ve seen so much of me talking about books, now you can listen to some of the other sisters… Sister Anne brought a video camera to some community meetings and just asked the sisters to talk about their favorite books, or what they were reading at the moment…
What about you? What are your favorite books? What are you reading right now?

Granted, we’re already in the middle of summer and I’m only now offering a summer reading list… But summer is a great time for a relaxed read, and nothing beats a good story. I’m talking fiction.
Sr. Anne, the videographer, had some problems with the microphone (and some camera wobbling, too). So the video is not so great; the books are!

I love reading lives of the saints–they were my introduction to the Catholic Church! See if some of these books (and saints) are among your favorites, too…

Here I am with more books! These are my top picks for praying with the Bible: lectio divina, especially. Sr. Anne taped me while we were in Boston this summer recording a new album.
Speaking of new albums, our newest Christmas album is now available.
But meanwhile, here are the latest “Best Books” for you to catch up on!

Better late than never! We’re still in the first week of Mary’s month, so here are my favorites about Our Lady. Sr. Anne took this footage while I was in Chicago for a meeting…

Catholic books to help you start the New Year out in faith! Just a few, but worth your while (at least I think so!).
