Summary
In this episode of Classical Et Cetera we turn from fiction to Christian nonfiction books that have shaped our faith. From _Mere Christianity_ and Augustine’s _Confessions_ to biographies, letters, and works on prayer and discernment, we share the books that have strengthened, challenged, and sustained us. This isn’t a canon, but rather an honest conversation about the titles we return to and why they matter for classical Christian readers. *What We're Reading* from This Episode: "Galahad and the Grail" Malcom Guite (Leigh & Tanya) "Sense and Sensibility" Jane Austin (Tanya) "With God in Russia" Walter Ciszek (Tanya) "A Tale of Two Cities" Charles Dickens (Tanya) "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" Alexander McCall (Paul) "A Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy Toole (Paul)
