Essential to genuine spiritual growth
Of all the books I have ordered, read and re-read in past years, this is one of the most meaningful and helpful. It is filled with short, but deep reflections (examinations of conscience of a sort) to invoke the development of sincere humility. I learn each time I read a selection.

Much more than I expected!
I purchased Humility of Heart e-book as part of my Lenten readings this year. At first it seemed a bit heavy to me but the more I read, It went deep into my soul like no other book has. I am actually rereading it right now, a few sections a day. I recently purchased a hard copy for my sister, who like me, is struck with its deep, rich look at one;s own soul. It's a beautiful book for meditation and the Holy Spirit is truly alive within it.

Wonderful Book!
I read a little of this every day, over and over again. It is so dog-eared that I had to order another copy and ordered a few for friends. I know this is essential to our salvation.
