Why is there so little material on concretely living the Catholic life? I wish someone would write a compelling book or autobiography on how they are living it -- compelling being a key word here -- and someone in my circumstances. Some person who has a job and a family and a housel, living an inspiring Catholic life, describing their struggles with prayer, money, temptation, and other real-life issues.

Something like Augustine's Confessions but written by a yuppie.

Come to think of it, perhaps the Catholic Bloggies has an award category for "living the life" ... let's see ... a couple of blogs that seem to keep cropping up are Open Book and Saintly Salamagundi - I'll try those for now.
