As we enter the last week of 2022, here are 6 books that helped me on my journey into deeper Christlikeness this year. If you’re looking for a companion on your journey in the new year, I couldn’t recommend these more! 1) A Burning in My Bones by Winn Collier
I love your list. I love all books by Brant Piete, what a wealth of information he has at his finger tips! I love Thomas Merton and have only read his book Seven Story Mountain. I have put the others you mentioned on my "to be read" list! I recommend St. Oscar Romero's movie with Raul Julia as St. Oscar Romero in Romero. Excellent!
The book that I read this year that helped me love Jesus was Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen. Initially written for his Jewish friend, Henry Nouwen writes a powerful book about living a spiritual life in a secular world. I highlighted most of the book.
Lastly, if St. Oscar Romero's life is inspiring to you. You might want to pick up the book A Shepherd Never Runs, describing the life of Blessed Stanley Rother, who originally was a priest from Okarche, Oklahoma. He died a martyr in Guatemala in the early 1980s. The shrine for Blessed Stanley Rother will open in Oklahoma City in February of 2023.
Thank you for your suggestions. I have a great supply of books to start the new year with:) God bless!
