Found this for $1 at McKays. I think it will be one of my best buys ever.
An anthology of "spiritual" autobiographical writings categorized by 1) Wanderers and Seekers (Tolstoy, Merton), 2)Pilgrims and Missionaries (Livingstone, Bradstreet), 3) Mystics and Visionaries (Julian of Norwich, Anne Dillard), and 4) Philosophers and Scholars (S Weil, V Frankl).

Great, inspiring reading. Well-chosen collection of some wonderful folks serving a God Who can be difficult to serve. Note that three of the more recent ones mention C.S. Lewis as a distinct help in the intellectual struggle toward christianity. (Lewis, oddly enough, doesn't.)
