In the end it seems most spiritual books are barely disguised self-help books. True religious instruction, as found in St. Alphonsus is a good thing but many are full of platitudes. Platitudes kill religious books. The mantra of novels is don't tell me, show me. Well, the liturgy of Word & Eucharist show me. It's the difference between reading a clinical book about sex and experiencing it. In the end only the sacraments and the the bible are efficacious, because both contain assurance and Source.
