KNOW THYSELF
This small book of beautifully curated, short meditations has been in my library now for a few years. I read it regularly & have so come to so love its gentle, nudging reflections that I often give a copy to friends & family members as a gift. THIS year, heartened by an election that promises better days for America (& our Lords beloved Church), I just purchased 10 copies as 2024 ‘mustard seed’ Christmas gifts. Thank You for publishing this GEM.

Excellent book
Ive probably bought 20 of Humility of Heart to give away. Then I discovered Know Thyself and promptly order some to give away. Its hugely beneficial to accompany the aforementioned book. Just an excellent read.

Great short meditations with some thought
I like the format, short meditations written on Saints quotes, read one a day, the same several times or a few at a time. Its also an easy book to journal to. Is what I was hoping for in the purchase.

Excellent and inspiring...
I am a true Tan Fan and recently purchased this book. I am still currently reading it and only read one meditation per evening with my nightly prayers. It's a beautiful book, very professionally printed, and full of wonderful spiritual insights. I highly recommend for anyone pursuing humility of heart.

Love this little but mighty book!
Quickly becoming a daily habit for jump starting periods of mental prayer!

Very nice
Very nice little format for doing daily meditations on humility. The quotes from the saints are always relevant to the meditation and add a little extra to think about. I do own Humility of Heart also but prefer this format. The book also contains prayers by various saints for humility and bible passages as well.
