By:	Lon the learner (Virginia Beach, VA, March 13, 2012) Verified Buyer
Pros:	Deserves Multiple Readings; Informative; Well Written;
Best Uses:	Older Readers;
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Reader;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I use the book for daily readings during Lent. The readings are based on the scripture readings for each day so I try to get to them before morning Mass. Not so great? Maybe too pre-Vatican II. Don't know how much of the doctrine is legit.

Pros:	Well Written; Informative;
Best Uses:	Meditation; Older Readers;
Describe Yourself:	Bookworm;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I began a couple of years ago with the Lent/Eastertide volume. Over that time, I have purchased the remainder of the volumes. These books follow the liturgical year, are very spiritually "nutritious"... truly food for the soul. I truly enjoy the references not only to Scripture, but also to the writings of the Fathers of the Church. I will enjoy reading them over and over through the years, always learning something new!

An excellent book for the Lenten season! 5.00 out of 5

By:	rita (Lawrence,KS, February 26, 2010)
Pros:	Deserves Multiple Readings; Easy To Read; Well Written; Informative;
Best Uses:	Gift;
Describe Yourself:	Everyday Reader;
Bottom Line:	Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. This is an excellent collection of meditations that tie in with the readings of the daily mass. It is brief enough to not take too much time to read, and yet very insightful, with practical applications in daily life. Quotations from various saints, Fathers of the church and various Catholic documents are very helpful. This book was given to me as a gift by one of my sisters last year, and it helped me so much through my Lenten journey that I have bought several copies to share with family and friends this year.
