Format:Paperback
This is one of three great little books by Josemaria Escriva's The Way, Furrow and The Forge. Each of these three volumes are collections of thoughts, pense's musings and meditations. They can be read from beginning to end or randomly opened and read just as you find them. Some of the reflections will require more thought and work then others. Some examples that particularly grabbed my attention are:
"Fight against the softness that makes you lazy and careless in your spiritual life. Remember that it might well be the beginning of tepidity ... and, in the words of the scriptures, God will vomit out the lukewarm."
#325
"When I made you a present of that life of Jesus, I wrote in it this inscription: `May you seek Christ, may you find Christ, may you love Christ. These are three very distinct steps. Have you at least tried to live the first?"
#382
"Fight against that weakness which makes you lazy and careless in your spiritual life. Remember that it might well be the beginning of lukewarmness... and, in the words of the Scripture, God will vomit the lukewarm out of his mouth."
#325
Each of these three little books will help you grow deeper in the Christian life. They will challenge you every time you pick them up and read. I have gotten to the point that I always carry one of them with me, and while waiting for a ride, or before class, or in any spare moment open it and read, and through that reading I pray. Through that prayer I hope to become a better Christian and a better person.

Format:Paperback
As a seminarian, I have found this book to be a great aid to my spiritual life. Blessed Josemaria Escriva shows us how to take the common everyday events of our lives, and use them to help us advance in holiness as well as in love of God and of neighbour.
This book is very much in harmony with the Second Vatican Council. Blessed Josemaria preached that holiness is not merely reserved for the clergy and the religious (nuns and religious brothers), but for everyone. One of the things that Vatican II taught is the universal call to holiness. All of us, no matter what state of life we are called to be, whether it is as priest or religious, single person or married couple, are called to live holy lives. This book understands that message and proclaims it.

In the current atmosphere of mushy religion and sacchriney spiritual sentiment, it is refreshing to read a book of prayer and wisdom that so forcefully compels the reader to live a truly Catholic lifestyle. This is not for the weak, only the strong--it is meant for true men willing to reform their lives, turn away from the bondage of sin, and come home to Christ and Mother Church.
It changed my life, and it will change yours, too (if you're strong enough)!

The Way
You should re-read any time you question your own actions. Or read it routinely every few months.

Simple and deep
A beautiful book. While some may feel uneasy, perhaps it is because this book is able to provide a light to shine onto their own life which they don't want to see. Read more
