Nearer, My God by William F. Buckley, Jr.

This is the story of the spiritual life of a prominent American. Born to privilege and educated in various places, he was always an outsider as a Catholic. Very devout and very knowledgeable. Open to protestants in a way; he is friends with Colson and others. Though Buckley is fiercely loyal to Catholicism, his wife, it seems, remains a protestant. The parts about his life are very interesting. Large, sometimes tedious, sections about a forum he participates in of those who converted to Catholicism. A book full of faith in God and devotion to Christ.
