Life-changing
This potent little book has a lot of thought-provoking ideas and inspirations in it and seems perfectly weeded to our moment when humility is increasingly rare. Its a book to read and re-read, take to Adoration, and try to practice in daily life.

Necessary reading
I wish I had read this when I was twenty. And thirty. And fifty. But its never too late (or too early) to profit from its wisdom. And it bears frequent re-reading.
