The Formation
Library.

The gentlest, most practical guide ever written for an ordinary person trying to become holy in an ordinary life.

The Little Way from a young Carmelite: nothing dramatic, everything offered. Start here if you feel too small to begin.

A brilliant man running from God, and the mercy that outran him. The first autobiography, and still the most honest.

Short chapters for the distracted. Read one page at a time, slowly, and it will do more than a shelf of commentary.

A Presbyterian minister and his wife argue their way into the Catholic Church. The friendliest entry point for a Protestant reader.

The Mass as the Book of Revelation — the single book that most changes how you assist at the liturgy.

Manna, the Bread of the Presence and the Passover fulfilled. Scholarly, readable, and hard to answer.

A sweeping, beautiful account of the faith for anyone who suspects Christianity is smaller than it is.

The revelation of Divine Mercy in a soul's own words. Read it when shame, not doubt, is the obstacle.

A restless, brilliant modern life that ends in a Trappist monastery. For anyone who cannot see the way forward.
