Alfred Delp, S.J: Prison Writings (Modern Spiritual… by Alfred Delp
This short book of reflections, written while in prison, awaiting first trial and then execution, is perfect reading for Advent and Christmas. Delp, a German Jesuit, writes profoundly and movingly of the need for Christians to love practically, persistently and actively to prevent future reigns of terror. This one stays on my shelf because I'll be reading it again.
