What Catholic Readers Like & Buy || The World Of Reselling Catholic Books

What Catholic authors are your favorite?

[@cuppajavaplease]

I go to used bookstores looking for Catholic classics, usually written by saints: Julien of Norwich, Hildegard von Bingen, Teresa of Avila, Brother Lawrence, and especially St. Francis of Assisi. They are real treasures! I also like to read the encyclical of the popes.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Same! I love finding Catholic treasures at thrift stores and used book stores. All of the papal encyclicals are available for free on line, but I do like to have a paper copy :)

[@MargaretUIUC]

I'm not too surprised about books by Bishop Barron being a hard resell. I think he may just be too esoteric for many people, especially when he gets into philosophy. I think my favorite Catholic author is Dr. Brant Pitre, and it doesn't surprise me that people want his books--they are very readable and very well researched.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

I think you are right, Margaret. Also a Dr. Pitre fan here!

[@marymeine9823]

Yes, very deep theologically.

[@lvlc5]

I am not surprised by Fulton Sheez, JP2, and Baron... they are DEEP! So, it might be difficult to read for the average reader... I guess...

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Yes- that's what we think, too. They can be hard to read.

[@christiethomas6905]

Same with the Dynamic Catholic books! So many free circulating our area!

[@angelo8424]

Fr. Lasance, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, Bishop Fulton Sheen.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thanks for sharing!

[@christiethomas6905]

I have about 3 copies of that Bishop Barton book because many parishes had loads for free, there are still many free ones circulating in our area.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Yes- same here. There are so many out there!

[@SaraMGreads]

I’m in the process of converting to Catholicism. I’ve got to say Bishop Baron is way too intellectual for me! Father Casey is too young for me 😂 Trent Horn and Scott Hahn are very logical and clear. I found 33 Days at a church yard sale and I was so excited! I liked this video a lot. ❤️

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thank you, Sarah! I wasn't sure if this would be an appealing topic- but since we are huge book lovers here, it was a fun video to make. I would also be excited to find a book like 33 days at a church yard sale!

[@rosemarymaher6726]

Bishop Baron is an acquired taste. You need a certain level of knowledge then you begin to appreciate him.That was my experience anyway

[@rosemarymaher6726]

Dynamic Catholic books are excellent but not readily available in UK.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Yes- the more you read, the more you get used to his style. We found that also when reading the Catechism in a Year last year; it took a while to get used to it!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

That is too bad! Many of the books are so good.

[@LenaSheppard]

This was just so very interesting. A lot of converts mention Scott hahn so I'm not surprised. I am surprised abt JPII, he's so loved. I just love devotionals & thought others did too. I appreciate you so, so much for being here !

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

It is surprising about JPII. It is very interesting what sells and what doesn't….

[@Undermarysmantleforever]

Dear fellow Catholic ….books on Angels will sell also I appreciate leather bound books from TAN publishing but they can be very expensive ….good luck .🙏🙏🙏🌟

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thanks for the info!

[@cat_zab]

The list seemed to mirror my tastes of books I’ve purchased or don’t.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thanks for your input :). We're always glad to hear from our viewers!

[@tinaxinastle5462]

Great info and Thank you for sharing! Do you ever find Rev. Fr. Lasance's My Prayer Book from 1908?

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We do get a variety of older books, but I am not sure if we have run across this one. I will keep an eye out for it!

[@gmacch]

I'm "Binging Jesus" too!

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Ahh- season 4! What do you think so far?

[@gmacch]

Oohh. Love it, so far. Episode 1 😭Sad about episode 3, but I understand the reasons. I LOVE episode 4!

[@steveandsheryl]

I wonder if Bishop Barron doesn't sell well is because of his presence on youtube, and his DVD set of "Catholicism". I am glad to see C.S. Lewis on your list, but where the heck is G.K. Chesterton? I also read alot of Pope Benedict the XVI , but mainly only the encylicals of Pope John Paul II. I just love Chesteron and Ratzinger.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

That is a question we often ask, too: Where is Chesterton? We see so little of him all around... I don't think we've ever had any of his work donated to the library. I've heard more than once that he is the most underrated Catholic writer of the 20th century, and I agree. His work is wonderful! Right now we are reading an Advent devotional called "Winter Fire" that is based on his works, and it is just delightful. His poem about Lepanto is also a favorite here. Glad to hear from another of his fans 😀

What is your resale site?

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We posted links in the description box for you :)

[@ccbarr58]

I looked for your site. Believe I found it. Checked books for sale ,they had your tag. A lot of your books are old. Old is good, but with no description a person would skip over it. Also look at your customers. Lots of books written for young people, young mom's, young families. Maybe a web site(simple) describing what you have. Sonja Corbitt, Vinita Hampton Wright, Charles Chaput, &Robert Cardinal Sarah( boy can he write, like a drink of spring water...he is very good)- these are some names I read. Danielle Bean of girlfriends podcast also is an amazing writer. Fun on the podcast, compassionate in her writing. Oh yes, Susan Muto( Womanessence , was a fave). I buy at 2nd hand sites and stores. Never been disappointed. But affordable books are everywhere in my house! Thanks, some suggestions.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Thanks for your feedback! We will pass it along.

[@ccbarr58]

I like Dorothy Day, Fulton J. Sheen. If you have a dynamic Catholic of spiritual journaling , let me know. I had a copy, gave it away, and it's a keeper.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

We don't have one currently, but we will keep an eye out for you!

[@7peacefrog]

I thank you for this book list. But I do have a question I have been looking for the 33 Days to a morning Glory, is it for sale? And if so what would it cost? I also enjoy and have Joanna Weaver books (and Having a Mary heart in a Martha world) is 1 of my favorite's I thin I might have 2 copies (the second at a book sale) I enjoyed this and would like to see/hear about more books. Thank you💜🙏

[@erinsnook8537]

Bishop Barron, Pope Benedict, Fr. Martin, Mary Reed Newland, Bryan O’Doyle, Flannery O’Connor. I’m very thankful for the mission of Dynamic Catholic and the content of their books, but do not care for the writing style.

[@JoseEspinoza90044]

@CatholicMomAndDaughter I would love to get a free copy of the Catechism of the catholic church

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Hello- right now we don't have any, but we'll let you know if any come in :)

[@deniserc4677]

@@catholicmomanddaughter what is that ?

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

It is the information box that has the video information, links to other videos, etc. HTH! :)

[@marymeine9823]

I find JPII difficult to read.

[@catholicmomanddaughter]

Often we do, too

[@tinablackwell7533]
