I need some recommendations to strengthen my faith. I strongly prefer an audiobook since I spend a good part of every day driving.

Most of my reading/audios are philosophical in nature and I enjoy that quite a bit. GK Chesterton, CS Lewis, and Peter Kreeft are my favorites. I’m not a fan of authors such as Mathew Kelly. I’m not sure why. I find the content vague, flowery, repetitive, and dry. I feel like my faith is lacking because of too much head and not enough heart; too much reason and not enough passion. I’m often told I over-think things but, until recently, my take on that has always been that the world thinks too little. I still think the world thinks too little, but I’ve come to the conclusion (after much thought :D) that the other extreme is no better and I need help with that.

Try Archbishop Sheen’s Life of Christ.
 
While I won’t presume to recommend a specific book, I would highly recommend the free Catholic audiobook site at catholicaudiobooks.wordpress.com/ There is something for everyone: biographies of the saints, church history, fiction - and the price is great.

That looks like a great resource, thank you!

Thanks to you other folks as well. The more suggestions the better.
