I've purchased a dozen or more "spiritually enriching" books over the past several years. This is by far the easiest to read, easiest to apply to daily life and the most uplifting book I have. I'm so glad I bought the leather zippered edition. The book goes with me everywhere and will be a lifetime treasure for me.

I read from this book daily. It is an incredible aid in spiritual growth. I also like how well the book is put together. It is very sturdy, the zipper helps to contain my prayer cards so that they are not falling out of my book, and the ribbon (that holds your place in the book) is a plus.

I was disappointed in the presentation of this classic work. The leather cover does not feel like real leather. The illustrations, in black and white, must be from the 1950s and look almost cartoonish. Really a second rate product, especially given its glowing description in the catalogue. [*]

Read a chapter or two of this book with your daily meditation/devotional time. When you get to the end, start over. Read slowly and savor the wisdom it contains.
I have the hardcover edition, but when I saw this new one in leather with the zipper I had to have it. I like the smell of the leather and the zipper is a really neat feature along with the gilt edge pages and the ribbon marker. Feels good in your hand.
