From Simcha Fisher: “A reading list for Catholic teens and young adults”

Actually a number of these books are suitable for anyone at any age. I have read several.  Simcha Fisher is a Jewish convert to Catholicism, has nine children, and writes for a number of publications as well as maintaining her own blog. Two of her suggestions I'm putting below the link – I will get and read the first one – the second I read years ago and it's great. Several others on her list are excellent.

A frequent question: What books are good for Catholic teenagers and young adults looking to deepen their faith? I have some suggestions!

A Consistent Life: The young advocate’s guide to living peace & justice daily. I’m taking a chance and recommending a book I haven’t read, because it’s co-written by Rehumanize International’s Aimee Murphy, for whom I have enormous respect. 
The blurb: This holistic guide offers activists young and old ways to support the marginalized and rehumanize the dehumanized. In working for peace and justice daily, readers will participate actively in education, discourse, and action to uphold the inherent dignity of the preborn, the elderly and disabled, the incarcerated, and those at risk from policy brutality, racism, poverty, human trafficking, and war. Activities include direct service to those at risk from violence, advocating for human-centered public policy, raising awareness, and perhaps most importantly: celebrating life.

UPDATE: I got the kindle edition of this book – go here for the amazon link and more info: A Consistent Life

In the Beginning: A Catholic Understanding of the Story of Creation and the Fall by Pope Benedict XVI . A short work compiling four homilies and an essay. I’m still reading this one, so here is the blurb:
“While the stories of the world’s creation and the fall of humankind have often been subjected to reductionism of one sort or another ― literalists treat the Bible as a science textbook whereas rationalists divorce God from creation ― Ratzinger presents a rich, balanced Catholic understanding of these early biblical writings and attests to their enduring vitality.” A good book for kids who have been told that you have to choose between science and religion. BXVI’s voice is so kindly, wise, and rational, you will fall in love with him.
