New All-Time Favorite
I intentionally read this book over the period of a few months, but each time I picked it up, it was hard to put down. Easy to read, but full of meditative topics and questions. A beautiful way to strengthen or develop a devotion to Saint Joseph. Hands down one of my all-time favorite spiritual books.
