At a time when so many people are spiritually disillusioned and searching for ways to live, love, work, and play that nurture the soul rather than destroy it, Matthew Kelly once again delivers a powerful book that encourages us in our weariness, challenges us in our comfort, and invites us to rediscover the beautiful possibilities God places before us daily.

Loved it. Read about 2-4 pages each day. Short chapters. Highly recommend!! ( )

I don't remember where I got this book--though I can tell you it was not something sent to me unsolicited (as I see other reviewers noting). I picked it out of my pile to read because I liked the idea of short essays that I could read each morning. I found I also liked that the author gave us a question or idea to meditate on for the day. I would often try to commit it to memory to think about it throughout my workday.

There are 40 essays/entries so it should have taken me a little over a month, but I missed a few days here and there so it took me about 2 months to finish.

I wouldn't say there was anything profoundly new to me in the book, but sometimes I find it is good to go back to the basics and review them. Sometimes my thinking gets so caught up in the current issues or more complex issues that I don't focus on the basics of Christianity. ( )

Like many of Matthew Kelly's books this one is easy to read and is broken up chapters to make you think. Could be used as a daily devotional or a bible study. The end of chapter recap are nice to sum up what you have just read. he gives you a Point To Ponder, Verse To Live By, Question To Consider and a Prayer. He gets you to think about Jesus in a new way. ( )
