I agree with your husband in that it doesn't have a very Catholic "feel" to it - which isn't to say that it's bad. I did enjoy some of the concepts presented in it. But once or twice the author references an idea that, for the parish in which I grew up and was educated (I went to Catholic schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade and Religion was in the curriculum every year), is alien to me - the idea of avoiding others who aren't trying to live in faith. I'm oversimplifying, but that's the gist of it. Again, I took some good ideas away from reading it, but I can't say the book *resounded* with me.<br /><br />I can't say I've found something like that (topics, discussion questions, etc.) in a more Catholic vein but I can say that C. S. Lewis' books on God have been, for me, very inspiring and thought-provoking...and, even though he was not a Catholic, felt a bit more like "home," as regards the way in which I was raised in faith.<br /><br />I wish y'all the best in your spiritual search! :-)Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372479325617616049.post-24991437226381617232012-04-19T18:15:50.046-05:002012-04-19T18:15:50.046-05:00I will have to check out "Boundaries" wh...I will have to check out "Boundaries" when I finish the PD Life! Thank you for the recommendation. Yes, I am still doing the a-to-z challenge. I have just gotten a little behind as things at work are hectic. I will get my "q" post up today... sometime.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064764665118374730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372479325617616049.post-52643911722404902732012-04-19T13:40:47.194-05:002012-04-19T13:40:47.194-05:00I LOVED The PD Life.

I wish everyone would read this book. My favorite book is "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud. It's not a devotional, but is so full of wisdom and spiritual truths about attaining healthy relationships. Are you still doing the a-z challenge?Marianne (Mare) Baker Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663143060069193124noreply@blogger.com
