Besides the two books by Pearce that we had read before, I had also read two additional books:
Catholic Literary Giants: A Field Guide to the Catholic Literary Landscape
and
Small Is Still Beautiful: Economics as if Families Mattered
This book we'll be reading now is a history of religion in England, therefore it's difficult to compare with the other four, three of which deal with Catholic and quasi-Catholic English converts (I call C.S. Lewis quasi-Catholic).
The fourth book I've read is an updating of the famous book by Ernest Schumacher (Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered, and deals mainly with economics and politics, so it's totally different from all the others.

Literary converts it is most favorite and decesive book in my life. I have tried to read all books translated to spanish. And this book i bought in the bookshop El Árbol de las Letras because i could not wait. Besides as historian i wanted to watch to Joseph Pearce in this field.
Sorry i want to say most important. The spanish false friend, sorry 😅. Literary Converts was the book, which most have influenced in my life. I am very happy that we start "The faith of our fathers" the Day of my saint.
