This is a wonderful collection of the wisdom of the saints, venerables and blesseds arranged topically. In each chapter we are shown how the saints were able to wrestle a particular vice to the spiritual ground. Their wisdom and insights will help the reader advance from the natural, fallen state of a man to a glorified, sanctified state. For instance, we shall be moved from a state of disorder to order, from disobedience to obedience, from sadness to joyfulness, from timidity to courage, from greed to simplicity, and from resentment to forgiveness. It is easier to find the way through the spiritual forests of our life if someone has gone before us hacking away the weeds and thorns of confusion, doubt and discouragement. The saints (following Christ Himself) have done this for us and this book will show you the path they forged and trod so that we too can reach heaven.

Organized into 30 topics, they provide the reader with entertaining reading, leavened by quotes which are insightful, edifying, and, in some cases, humorous.
