 A Catholic worldview is one that sees goodness, truth, and beauty where ever they’re found, and never tires of wrestling with the big questions of life and faith. A great novel is one of the best places to do that. Many novelists, inspired and compelled by the Catholic faith, have penned memorable and moving books that have gone on to be timeless favorites.
