Beyond Our Selves by Catherine Marshall

4.0

Along with AJ Cronin's The Keys of the Kingdom, this book had the greatest impact on my spiritual outlook as a young girl. I'd have to reread it to say for sure, but it was my first encounter with religious ideas applied to real life situations, and an author more interested in every day moments instead of "top of the mountain" revelations.

Just read that Marshall died in 1983, about a year before I started reading her. Mom's bookshelf was limited to mostly Catholic authors like Fulton Sheen; how did Marshall make it there?
