A wonderful book read by a genteel author. I found it increased my faith, and now read it often. The yoke of God is easy when compared to the yoke of Man.

I am certain that I will see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait for the Lord.

Thank you!

Great reading for a great book! One of the most "listenable" books in the Catholic religious category. Thank you. Please do more!
