    Fr. Jim keeps it simple and personal. An awesome piece of literature- again, for Cradle Catholics and Humanistic Skeptics alike!

    I attended a Jesuit-led university and was looking for a clear explanation about what makes Jesuits distinct from other orders within the Catholic Church. This is a very readable and enjoyable text. The reader can read chapters of particular interest as well as reading from front to back. Bravo to the author with a bit of a sense of humor, too.

  • Best spiritual book I've ever read

    I hardly ever review anything but this is the best spiritual book I have come across. It is practical, educational, and even has humor. I will likely read it again soon and have already incorporated suggestions for prayer and life into my daily routine. It certainly has a Catholic tilt but is written so other religions and those seeking religion and faith may still find it enlightening. I can't remember the last time I read a book that impacted me like this one has. If you are considering it, I highly recommend it.
