Default Books for Christmas Gifts

Christmas is coming.. and the opportunity to give books as gifts looms as well.. Catholic books.

I have some relatives who are lapsed Catholics.

Anyone have some suggestions for good book gifts?

The types of books I generally read are too devout for them as yet, so I am having trouble thinking of what to get -- something rather, indirect, popular yet still fully Catholic that gets them interested is more the kind.

Fiction, nonfiction?

I just read an EXCELLENT book on cellular automata which is positively inspiring and opens all kinds of doors in terms of discussions about God's designs..... in the same light as some of Michio Kaku's talks on string theory and unified field theory....

problem being that given it's cellular automata.... the book is solid high-level math.... so the audience is limited.

That's too high level, something scientific that gives one a view towards God's design of it all is good, but high level math will be too far.
