Graham Greene varies, but his "The Power and the Glory" gave me much food for thought when I was about 20. Some of Sigrid Undset's books are in English (I don't know what languages you know). I've only read on thing by George Bernanos, Diary of a Country Priest - again, may be of interest to you. Of course, there is Evelyn Waugh, notably Brideshead Revisited (it is interesting to note people's reactions to it according as they are Catholic or atheist/fluffy liberal protestant), or the Sword of Honour trilogy. In film and telly versions Waugh is generally made to mean quite the opposite of what he actually said, with the exception of the old telly version of Brideshead. There's a lot of gloom in Waugh, he is always writing about the passing of a world he loved. <br /><br />So much for fiction that I know. <br /><br />A book that one either loves or hates is St Therese of Lisieux's autobiography. I read it having no idea who she was, and couldn't put it down. I was quite stunned by the sheer strength of her. Other people see only the worst of C19 French "internal emigre" kitschy hysterical piety. It's short, you could judge for yourself. An interesting comparison is the (also short) diary/letter of Jacques Fesch, written before his execution for manslaughter or murder (I think it's available in English). There is a biography of St Therese called "The Hidden Face", published in English by Ignatius, which, though it has a slightly dated slant, is interesting and you may find the autobiography makes more, or more extensive, sense after reading this. <br /><br />The biography/anthology of Mother Teresa of Calcutta may or may not make sense to you. It's called "Come, be My light".<br /><br /><br />Anyway, that's off the top of my head. I find autobiographies and letters fascinating - from Ignatius of Antioch to St Patrick, to the Carthusian writings, to Abelard and Heloise, to the rules and letters of St Francis, the letters and Dialogue of Catherine of Siena ... A lot of this stuff is online. It's not quite, I suppose, what you had in mind, but these are Christians writing without worrying about whether someone thinks it's daft to be a Christian, so you get to see what they were really thinking. In some cases you can see how they struggle with a wonky personality that perhaps is never "cured" (Charles de Foucald), others seem to be perfectly balanced (Mere Cecile Bruyere).passer-bynoreply@blogger.com
