“Having all these stories woven together and presented in a single volume to accompany us throughout the year is spiritually nourishing. The synposes are short and punchy, offering us a sketch of a holy life into which we may breathe our own particularities.”

“Beautifully written and marvelously conceived. Take this book on retreat with you or read it daily for spiritual nourishment.”
