10 Spiritual Classics No Catholic Should Be Without

By Peter Mirus (bio - articles - send a comment) | March 21, 2010 8:46 PM

Here are ten spiritual classics that, in my opinion, no Catholic should be without. These are books that will make a profound difference to both your personal and business life! If you don't have one of them, consider picking it up through Amazon.com using one of the links below. Or consider getting one as an Easter gift for a friend or family member! A portion of the sale (as much as 10%) will go to support CatholicCulture.org.

These items are listed in no particular order. I have selected only books available through Amazon.com (most books are). Your browser settings must allow third-party website content to be loaded in order to see the list (powered by information from Amazon.com). Disagree with the contents of this list?

    Sorry, but I don't see any list (or even a link to any list). Did something get left off, or do I have a problem with my browser?
