Spiritual biographies
The Seven Storey Mountainby Thomas Merton
Merton was raised in a non-religious family. After studying at Cambridge and Columbia, he converted to Catholicism and eventually became a Trappist monk. Published in 1946, his book was one of the most famous and influential spiritual autobiographies of the 20th century. It remains a must-read for introspective, busy people who are looking for a sense of meaning in their lives. For Merton, that meaning was not found primarily in his education or intellect but in his monastic community.
(Please note: the next two books describe surviving genocide in detail. They are important reads but might be too disturbing for some readers.)
