Inner Strength for Active Apostles: How to Win Souls Without Losing Your Own

Rating:
Summary: Well worth the price
Review: Looking for a balanced, easily understood (mind, this doesn't mean easily applied, but if you're considering buying this book, you probably know or suspect that already!) how-to manual on developing a strong prayer life? This is the book for you! Although written by a Catholic for a Catholic audience, everyone who strives to grow in prayer can learn something from here. Replete with scriptural and saintly wisdom (clearly referenced with footnotes), the book shows how a soul grows ever closer to God and more like our Lord Jesus Christ as his/her interior life develops. It also deals with the stages of that development and the true signs of growth that one can watch for. I found it very helpful in understanding many aspects of scripture. I also found a number of simple spiritual exercises which I could apply immediately to my life and which have made me understand on an inexplicably deep level how truly merciful God is to all of us and how truly helpless we are without Him. I could ramble on at length, but I will stop here and just say BUY THIS BOOK!
