Customer Reviews

A little book packed with lots of wisdom

Sister Karol's book is one of my all time favourites and something I can return to time and time again for inspiration. It isn't a heavy, dry read in the least, something one might perhaps expect of a Catholic nun. She is fun, witty and occasionally somewhat irreverent (in the best possible way). Infact, I think I'd like to invite her to my next party...:)

Loved this booK!

This tiny book could tease a smile and a twinkle of satisfaction from someone long thought to be emotionally dead! I would really like to have a meal and watch a TV show with this author!

A joy to read...

A beautiful book! I loved the humor and insight; even my 14 year old son enjoyed it, and there's a tough audience. You'll be very glad you got this book.

A unique blend of humor and insight.

Nuns were never like this when I was young. Sister Jackowski writes with humor and wisdom about having fun with God. I found it insightful and thought-provoking. Many, many good ideas for improving your life. I highly recommend it to everyone, but especially Catholics.

Sublime, often humorous way to put life into perspective

A wonderful book! Karol Jackowski combines humor with profound insights about life. She shares ways to accept our responsibilities in life with joy.I read this book several years ago and still return to it frequently. It is like taking a quiet retreat from the busy, hectic world
