The book I recommended is:
The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times by Matthew Fox.
The book should at least require a 4-6 weeks discussion.
Father Andrew Calandriello+
Amazon says:
A stunning Spiritual Handbook drawn from the substantive teachings of a mystical/prophetic genius offering a sublime roadmap for spirituality and action, this short book brings a well of deep wisdom to the surface. Matthew Fox's stated purpose for this new "handbook" is to support and inspire the energy of a new generation of sacred activists working on the front lines of social change with the fierce wisdom of this courageous intellectual warrior and spiritual genius. "In these pages I have attempted to offer an accessible and succinct platform to hear the heart and mind of this giant thinker, philosopher, scientist, theologian, mystic, and prophet. And to make his wisdom available to many-especially the young."
Amazon has the paperback and Kindle editions

Theology on Tap meets on Tuesday evenings. We read and discuss books in some way related to our faith, scripture, theology, church history, etc. Sometimes we select short story collections and discuss how each story reflects on faith or a spiritual journey. See the list at the bottom of this page for a list of books we have read in the past. When we begin a book, we generally meet for 6-8 weeks, while we work through the book a chapter or so at a time. Usually, we take a few weeks off before starting a new ToT book. Finally, we take the “on Tap” aspect of our name somewhat literally. Attendees bring adult beverages to share, some others bring tasty pastry and the like. There is no schedule for bringing and sharing, yet we’ve never been wanting for food or drink.
