"Easy read and good. . . lots of wonderful advice for your spiritual journey."

— Janet (5/5)

I love this little book!

"I purchased this book for myself and after reading parts of it I immediately bought 4 more for gifts. Each little reading takes only a few minutes so it's easy to pick up and do a reading even if you have only a short period of time. St. Francis de Sales is so filled with God's love and the readings are so comforting and enlightening. Perfect for busy people who want to grow in holiness."

— J. C. (5/5)

Roses Among Thorns

"This is an excellent book because of the beautiful prose of St. Francis de Sale, and it's size. The size allows easy carry in a midsize purse or briefcase pocket. Each writing is only one page. I like to carry this book with me wherever I go, for those short times in which I can read a short passage and reflect. I highly recommend adding this book to your spiritual reflection reads for day or bedtime."

— Mary S. (4/5)
