This a wonderful and exceedingly practical book to accompany anyone who wishes to lead a better life in all it's realms. The book is devided into short chapters which easy to read and quite charming besides. I read one short chapter every morning and have not quite finished the book. But once finished I begin it again. This is the best book I have ever read on the spiritual life which is really the basis for all of our life.

I can't get enough of this book. I refer to it every week for something. The sections on Confession are excellent. An excellent review of all of the finer personal points of the sacraments and true devotion to Jesus.

I love this book! I'm learning alot and growing alot as well. This book is perfect if you are trying to live the way God ask us to. I hope this book becomes a best seller. Sometimes it hurts when you learn of the errors of your ways, but that what it is all about, right?

This is not a book of doctrine, this is not a book of quick 7-step methods to improve your life, this is not a book with inspiring stories about amazing things other people have done somewhere else that have nothing to do with your life right where you live it----this IS a book about devotion lived daily through all the real life struggles everyone faces right where they live. Read it humbly, take the advice to heart and there will really be no better guide to growth in the Christian life than this.

Excellent information in this book. Focused, direct, and easy to apply into one's daily life. Methods for spirtual growth detailed well in a clear and straight forward manner.

If you truly want to move from being a practicing Catholic to a sincere, thus devout, Catholic, this is the book you need.

The insight this book will provide you with is limitless. Such a powerful book provide true knoweledge for life and how we must keep our relationship with God stronger than ever. A+++
