Absolutely necessary for everyone

This book is priceless. It shows that it IS easy to become a saint, which many Catholics could never believe. Unless you know and follow everything in this book already (in that case, you are on the road to great sanctity), then buy it and read it. Most of us say that we love God, but if we truly loved God would try our best to avoid sin, and if we fall, then we would humbly beg pardon. This book isn't too long, but every...

Sainthood just for the Miracle-Workers? No, Thank God!!!

I try to read this book at least once every year. From the very first time I picked it up, I couldn't put it down until I had read it cover to cover, going back over it and taking in Fr. O'Sullivan's words to my heart. As reviewers have said, this book is shunned as being "too simple." I find it a shame it is viewed in such a negative light! The Jews were amazed at Jesus' teachings because "he taught as one having authority,"...

Inspirational book

Father O'Sullivan, once again authors a great book on ways to achieve the union with God that so many of our friends, the Saints, have done before us.

An easy but infallible means to reach Heaven

This is probably the best book about spirituality that I have ever read. Fr. O'Sullivan tells his readers that by loveing God and offering our daily actions, thoughts, words, trials, and joys to Jesus for love of him, we will gain inestimable joy and grace. He says that we do not have to do anything extraordinary to become the greatest of saints. This book changed my whole life. I heartily recommend it to anyone Catholic,...
