4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for the serious Christian, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
Chautard does a splendid job of driving home the importance of the interior life. It is the foundation upon which the whole Christian life is built. If the interior life is neglected, the fruit from good works will inevitably suffer. Again, lack of the interior life precedes the decline of holiness in lay and clerics alike. What a slippery slope we are on when we neglect mental prayer. I have been told that Scott Hahn's spiritual advisor recommends that Scott read this book anually. It is a great book. Bravo Jean-Baptiste Chautard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prayer first, and action... in hundredth place, May 2, 2002
By J. W. Cline (Sterling, VA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book is a warm antidote for those earnest Christians who work so very hard for our Lord, but spend less than 10 minutes per day in mental prayer with him. Both the social justice activist and pro-life champion will find solace with Chautard, and a way to reach a new level of closeness with Christ. Ultimately they will see more fruitfulness in their works if the apply the lessons in the book. The picture of love overflowing into piety has stayed with me for months afterward.

5.0 out of 5 stars The shortest path to heaven !!, June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This beautiful work by Dom Chautard focuses on the need to convert ONESELF to Christ first, to become a "living resevoir of the Holy Ghost" and not simply a channel. Dom Chautard keenly outlines the basic stages of spiritual life and gives specific direction in developing a rich interior life, which he assures the reader is "the shortest path to Heaven."
