Books for Spiritual Reading

Here are some good books for Spiritual Reading. May these books inspire you to become saints or in other words, to reach Heaven.

1. Story of a Soul – The Autobiography of St. Therese of Lisieux

A great introduction to the life of a Saint. This book inspires us to become saints. Sainthood is not only for the extraordinary but ordinary people too can become saints following St. Therese’s “Little Way”. All we need to have is unfailing confidence in God’s merciful love.

2. Divine Mercy in My Soul – The Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

The writings of a Polish Nun who is known as the Apostle of the Divine Mercy. Jesus appeared to her in visions and requested the image of Divine Mercy to be painted so that it could be venerated all over the world. St. Faustina was chosen by God to reveal his Divine Mercy to the world.

5. Why Must I Suffer? – by Fr. F.J Remler

If you keep asking questions like “Why should I suffer God?”, “Why is there so much suffering in this world?”, “Why do the innocent have to Suffer?”, then I highly recommend this book. It provides 15 reasons why we ought to embrace our sufferings. It explains the cause of suffering and the immense value of suffering.
