In the pursuit of a deeper more spiritual relationship with God, we have
compiled these recommended books by category. They are wonderful and are
good for what is called "lectio divina" or "divine reading." When you read
these books, slow down. Read them like you are sipping fine wine, or hot
tea.

Church Fathers
All right, I know what you are saying, "You don't really expect me to
read this old stuff!" Well, if you want to get out of the spiritually
thin stuff you see in the grocery stores, uh, yes, I do. These are three
books which have selections of some Church Fathers in them. It is
helpful to see how people who were close to the time of Jesus understood
things such as God (The Trinity), Sin and Grace, Tradition and
Scripture, the Church, the Sacraments, Christian Living, etc. Contrary
to popular belief, tradition is the living faith of the dead which has a
lot to give us. So, here it goes: Documents in Early Christian
Thought, paperback (268 pp.), ed. by Maurice Wile and Mark Santer, New Castle
upon Tyne, GB: Cambridge University Press, 1975.
Early Christian Fathers : A Selection..., paperback (299 pp.), ed.
Henry Bettenson, New York: Oxford University Press, 1970.
The Later Christian Fathers, paperback (280 pp.), ed.
Henry Bettenson, New York: Oxford University Press, 1970.
