This little book is meant as a guidebook to confession, but it accomplishes so much more than that. He had a way of making the faith more vital, more real, more experiential. In this little book, he walks the reader through the purpose, practice and experience of the sacrament of reconciliation. He draws extensively from biblical sources to support the church's teachings and his own arguments. He also references the catechism of the Catholic Church to show why he is stating what he explains in the book. He shares from his own experience. He states "Our sins rupture our relationship with God. They hurt Him." This book will help you understand the practice of confession better and get the most out of it. It will help you restore your relationship with God, your relationships with others and help you develop a plan and tools to grow your own spiritual life through examination of conscience and through praying after confession and meditations on the experience of forgiveness. This is a great little book from which all Catholics could benefit.

This little book is a very good guide for confession. It's quite thorough and is completely orthodox.
I purchased several of these for my RCIA candidates who have found them to be very helpful.

As a new Catholic, this book took the cake for what I was looking for precisely in book form: a step-by-step guide to confession including examination of conscience. There's some more in it too.. its so good, I bought another to give away and I would do so in the future again.
