Religious Books

Caroline from Bell of the Wanderer has tagged me for this simple little meme. She also gives a wonderful definition of the word meme in her post.
For this particular meme, I am to name three of my favorite religious books and then tag three others to do the same.
Anyone who knows me, knows I love books, so getting my list down to three is a tough thing for me to do. But here goes...
Besides the Bible, three of my favorites are:

1. Introduction to the Devout Life by St Francis deSales~ this book is a wonderful guide for anyone in any state of life trying to live the spiritual life. It is a must read for anyone serious about practicing their faith.

2. Divine Mercy in My Soul: St Faustina Kowalska's Diary~ This is one that is highlighted, dog~earred and read and re-read. It truly is inexhaustible; I get something new every time I return to a portion of it.

3. The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur~ The diary of this lay french woman is very powerful. She was married to a man who did not share her faith, but finding her diary after her death, he converted and later became a Catholic priest. The cause for her canonization is underway.

So there you have it~three from my long list of favorites.

I pass this on to:

Colleen at Inadequate Disciple
Patricia at I Want to See God
