It is almost impossible to fully communicate the absolute importance of the Diary of Saint Faustina. It is possibly one of the most important messages Christ has given to mankind through one of His beloved mystics. It takes time to fully understand the message but "blessed is he who ponders the laws of God day and night". If you know in your heart who Jesus is, then this book is essential reading for you.

This simple diary gives clear instructions for salvation in these dire times. It isn't a "feel good" or "nice" or "interesting" book. It relates the true life experiences of St. Faustina's relationship to Jesus Christ in light of our dire times. Her story was fulfilled when she was canonized as a saint by JPII. The feast of Mercy is the first Sunday after Easter, it was established by His HOliness, John Paul II. Prophecy fulfilled! Other interpretations do nothing to describe the great grace granted by Jesus if a person approaches the fount of Mercy through the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. I encourage all who read this to explore and seek the truth and act upon the words of St. Faustina and follow the path to Medjugorje. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. God Bless all who read this.

This is my favorite book, which says a lot considering how much I read. St. Faustyna's recordings of the words of Christ, as well as her own, will bring you closer to our Lord. Do not hesitate to buy this book!

This is my all-time favorite spiritual book. By reading about St. Faustina's growth in holiness, I learn about growing in holiness and above all, God's endless mercy. I've read this book probably a dozen times and I everytime I hear something new and grow more deeply in my relationship with Christ. By this book for yourself and everyone you know! Spread the hope of God's awesome mercy!

This is a wonderful book. I read it as a non-denominational Christian pastor. The book is very enlightening. I learned much from this book. Also, I was interested to learn about St. Faustina's experiences. Very, very, interesting, indeed! I was interested to realize that the words given by God many years ago to St. Faustina today still apply. God is a loving, merciful God, who wants to be merciful to mankind and spare him of the coming Justice of God if he will only repent.

The print in this book is quite small making reading difficult. I would recommend searching for a copy with normal size print.

I first read Saint Faustina's book Diary: Divine Mercy in My Soul when she was plain old Sister Faustina, and a rather daunting twentieth-century mystic. The book freaked me out in several places, especially the locutions from Jesus and the visions of the afterlife. I was drawn to the book, but it frightened me, when I had just come back to the Church after a period of atheism. This was the mid-1980's also, when visionaries, mystics and classic Catholic spirituality was on the wane in the United States. Devotional books as intense as Saint Faustina's had given way to more careful, distanced spirituality. So I put the book away.

I came back to it several times over the years, and always found much to intrigue, inspire and challenge me. I found it again in a Eucharistic Adoration chapel a few months ago, and bought it for myself after using it to great effect in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament exposed. At this point, in my sixth decade of life, with classic Catholicism in full bloom wherever I look, I am finding it a wonderful book to deepen my knowledge of and relationship with Christ. I highly recommend it to Christians, especially Catholics, of all ages. When I first picked the book up in the 80's, Eucharistic Adoration was a dream from the past, as were novenas, the rosary, Benediction, and other devotions and practices of my childhood. Today's younger Catholics are fortunate to once again have ready access to all of the traditional and classic modes of prayer and devotion that have nourished the Catholic faithful over the centuries. This book was made for the ages -- and the Divine Mercy is now coming into Its own.

This diary is wonderful and so eye-opening. I am a Christian but not a Catholic. I had no idea of the relationship with Jesus that a saint has. It makes me think it is available to all of us if we only knew that. The only thing I don't like about this particular addition is that the print is so small. I wish I'd ordered a larger print version.

This is an authentic and most beautiful revelation of God's Mercy, His call to the whole world today to come back to Him. God loves each and every person with an everlasting love which no sin can erase if only we allow ourselves to be open to God's Mercy, love and forgiveness. The world is rushing to its ruin and God's Mercy will protect all who come to Him but He will not force us. No one can read this book without being deeply moved and knowing in truth that there is a God who loves us. The world is not left to chance but God is warning us that evil is self-destructive. Peace is God's gift which He promises by Covenant to all who come to Him. GOD'S WORD CANNOT FAIL.

This book provides an excellent insight into a humble soul truly united with Christ. It's an inspiration to re-examine our own lives to see the how we can unite our sufferings with the Lord and allow Christ to work through us. It also reinforces the message of God's Divine Mercy and God's desire to shower us with His mercy when many may think we do not derserve it or even want it. While we can never merit God's mercy, He truly was working through St. Faustina to spread his message that he wants to give his Mercy to all who accept Him and to the whole world which is in so desperate need of Mercy. Reading this book will make you look at things differently and it is a grace to read.
