Christian Nonfiction Books for Classical Readers

About this episode

The episode discusses influential Christian nonfiction books that have impacted the hosts' faith and are significant for classical Christian readers.

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)
