Inspiring and motivating
A great book. Well written. Perfect for people who don;t always have time to read longer chapters in books but yet desire a deeper connection to God at the moment. Can pick it up during the day and only takes a minute to read a selection, but yet inspiring and motivating. Perfect to also take one selection each day and let it guide you through your day on the wisdom therein.

I have always enjoyed the
I have always enjoyed the books from this series. Just to spend a few moments in silent prayer with one of the Mystics has been a blessing for me. I really believe that the Holy Spirit guided me, telling me that this is one that I need to pick up. Listen to that silent voice inside you and I am sure that you will not only pick one up but you will read and find peace in your heart.
