Life-Changing Books
April 29, 2009 by Alfred Garrotto
A friend asked me recently, “Of all the books you’ve read, which ones changed your life?” The question stumped me. Although I read on average 30 books a year (many of you must read more), I couldn’t come up with a list on the spot. Oh, I could be glib and say that every book I read changes me in some way, but that wasn’t the intent. So here goes. These are a few of the books that played a significant role in shaping who I am today. They are not in chronological order.
Born to Win, by Muriel James
The Public Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by Archbishop Goodier, S.J.
Servant Leadership, by Greenfield
Intimacy, by Shirley Gehrke Luthman
The Primal Wound, by Nancy Newton Verrier
The Reed of God, by Caryll Houselander
The Life You Save May be Your Own, by Paul Elie
and (of course) Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo
