Hi guys,
Excellent show and I had my spiritual reading reinforced as far as what books are recommended or what books I should read. There are just thousands out there so I am glad to narrow it all down to what St. Thomas Aquinas read, or St. Augustine or St. JPII as I want to read what interested and influenced them.
My Current List of To Read:
Confessions
City of God
Summa
Anthony of Padua
I also want to read Favorite Saints book.
Thank you guys!
