Hey there. I’m looking for some good books to read that have to do with the Church and the faith as a whole. Anything that will help me personally develop and to gain a greater knowledge… I’m currently discerning, and am looking for some good reading. Thanks
 
One of the biggest favours you can ever do yourself as a Catholic, in my opinion, is read True Devotion to Mary, by St. Louis de Montfort. The Saint also wrote the book “Love of Eternal Wisdom”, which is a bit of a precursor to the first book. His work was hidden during the French Revolution, as he had prophesied. In my opinion, this was a book that the enemies of the Church and the faith, really did not want out there.

Completely agree! Our Lady appeared to Ven. Marthe Robin and left her this book, saying that she wants it to spread across the globe. Or maybe it was ‘The Secret of Mary?’ I’m not sure as I have read both accounts.

I think it was True Devotion, if I recall correctly. A book like that, needed to be hidden in historical times, so that it can be handed down only to those generous souls who will continue handing it down through the ages, when information wasn’t so readily available. The nicest thing about the information age is that the very same enemies of that book, can no longer rip up a book like that up. Instead, they’ll turn to mock it, or use to to mock others.
 
Theology for Beginners by F.J. Sheed

Theology and Sanity by F. J. Sheed

I have nothing to say about either except that they can’t be read and re-read enough.

Ah, good!

True! I still can’t get over how incredible ‘True Devotion’ is. It is a spiritual masterpiece, without question.
