Great spiritual directiion

"I have only been praying with this book for 10 days and it has already made a deep impact on my spiritual life. The guidance from the saints is inspiring."

Barbara V. (5/5)

"Ah, This Looks Good!"

"This book was a gift for our 14yr. old granddaughter's birthday. She seemed interested and thought it might be interesting. She attends public achool and is a good and remarkable young woman(becomming). I look for opportunities to offer her exposure to growing spiritually and broadening her perspective. Plus, she commented on the pretty cover! As grandparents, we can offer, suggest and hope she will be curious enough to take more than a look. Thank you for offering an opportunity to influence our young grown up girls & boys."

Inspiring!

"Beware of buying this book in April, like I did, if you’re someone who struggles with patience as much as I do! That’s the virtue of that month, and it really packs a punch. :) So there was no “easing into” this book for me, but that’s just fine because I didn’t buy it for fluffy reading. I’d recommend this for adults, mainly, if not only. I’m sure some teens can follow along just fine, but teenagers are already prone to being a bit extreme, and many of the stories I’ve read so far glorify high degrees of asceticism, which might throw younger minds a little off kilter if they are prone to being scrupulous. Or the saints might perhaps seem too “out there” to be relatable, which could feel discouraging to a young person. But I, personally, find it very edifying and inspiring; I am very glad I bought it."
