Summary: A Good Guide to Formation
Review: Archbishop Dolan has given the Church a great gift in publishing the spiritual and formation conferences he gave while the rector of the North American College in Rome.

The archbishop's style is readable and light-hearted, yet conveys the solemn holiness of the priesthood to whoever browses the pages of the book.

This book is excellent reading for those currently in formation, those considering the priesthood, and those who want to have a better picture of the great gift of the life of a priest.

Summary: A Spiritual Guide for Seminarians and Priests
Review: This book is a collection of 24 spiritual conferences which Msgr Dolan as Rector gave the seminarians of the North American College, Rome. They cover almost every aspect of the life of the Catholic priest of this millennium, who has to respond to his call to holiness in the challenging circumstances of our society and culture. Each conference is very practical and pastoral in content, originating from Msgr. Dolan's rich and varied pastoral experience and deep understanding of priests and seminarians. The talks are interspersed with stories from his own life, quotes from writings of saints and popes along with profound spiritual insights. His depth of faith, scholarly wit and love for priesthood make the book easily readable and thoroughly enjoyable. Msgr. Dolan currently serves the Church as a bishop.

Whoever is concerned for the welfare of priests in this millennium would need to own and treasure this book. Indeed, it is a must-read for seminarians and priests who desire to live a faithful priestly life.

Summary: Catholicism at its Best!
Review: This book is amazing!!! Not only for current priests or those discerning or even entertaining the idea, but it's great for anyone! For the Catholic layman OR laywoman, it's an awesome collaboration of writings from Saints and Doctors of this Church, covering everything from Faith to why Confession Matters! This guy says nothin new, but he's put together all the stuff that we need to hear!! Even for a man or woman of another faith, this book definitely helps to refine any Christian, and can give anyone a good idea as to what the good Catholic should, if he already isnt, feelin'.

Summary: An Outstanding Book for Priest, Seminarian, or Layman
Review: This book is NOT just for priests or seminarians!

It is FOR LAYMEN.

An outstanding piece of literature on how we can live faithful Christian lives in the midst of a sinful world. In these pages Msgr. Dolan shares his rector's conferences from the North American Colleg in Rome where he helps to train men for the Catholic Priesthood.

Covering topics from Faith, Hope, and Love to Joy, Simplicity of Life, and Integrity, Msgr. Dolan shares his experiences of trying to live these virtues and ways of the Christian life in our times. His object in these pages is to show his seminarians how to live heroic Christian lives. This book is one of the best I have read--hard to put it down once you've picked it up.

An excellent devotional!

I highly recommend it.
