Instead, take it topic by topic, especially as questions about faith arise.

I have read a couple of these – Heaven is for Real was much better in book form than movie form. My Sisters the Saints was good. And, while not sure if I read “Left to tell,” I have read a couple other books and loved them!

Great list!

I found it browsing the shelves of my extremely liberal college library back in undergrad. It was so enlightening! I hadn’t heard many of the stories in it, and I loved the bit about how the Mayo Clinic came to be.
My Sisters the Saints is another favorite of mine too!
My mom loved Rome Sweet Home by Scott Hahn went she was converting, and I found it helpful to read to better understand the stuggle Protestants have with the Catholic Church.

You are very welcome Hope! Sometimes I just ask God if he can send me the most obvious signs when I am confused haha! I think we focus on our differences to much! Bottom line, JESUS LOVES US SO MUCH . . . right!? I certainly hope at least one of these books gives you lots of hope and peace of mind! Thank you so much for sharing a little of your journey with me!! By the way – I love your name!!

Thanks for sharing them!
