Absolutely Beautiful
No other book has drawn me closer to the heart of St Joseph (and consequently to hearts of Jesus and Mary) than this. It ought to be the gold standard. Brought to tears more than once!

The Imitation of Saint Joseph
It's a wonderful book thus far. I need to take it in small sections because there is so much to unpack, but Fr. Kauth has done a wonderful job, unpacking not only Saint Joseph but the patriarchs as well. The physical book is the perfect size and beautifully made and will be a beautiful physical addition to any bookshelf, and the blessings within will make it one you pass on as you help to raise the next generation(s) of men.

I really enjoy reading this book. I thought that it was beautifully bound, and the material is just wonderful.
I have purchased a lot of books over the read from TAN Books. We are using your Eucharist 12-part series in our Adult Lenten religious program in our parish. I am the facilitator of this program.
