this book is for those who would like to be holy and want practical ideas in both growing in closeness with God and increasing in charity. This book makes holiness easy because it breaks it down into day by day and in easier steps. The theme is holiness is for everyone but you need to put time and effort into it.

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.
