I picked up a copy of The Best American Spiritual Writing 2006 a few days ago and it is great! I was surprised by the number of essays from First Things and Christianity Today, and the number of excellent poems, including my new favorite poet, Franz Wright. Over the last few years this series has tended to select pieces more appealing to the Sleep In on Sunday Morning Read the Times and Listen to NPR crowd than your more consciously religious reader. I think the 2006 edition, though certainly not a Catholic apologetic, will appeal to religious folks who want a little more out of their faith than a cultural tag and who generally look for that More in literary sources.
