Absolutely Must Read

St. Alphonsus is a doctor of the Church. This book shows why he has been declared a Saint. This is a classic and everyone should read it, and, I’d argue, yearly. I’m always amazed when I return to it. Please read it. If we all did, we’d be better off and so would the world.

St. Alphonsus was a great scholar and guide.

The reader makes a good effort to add emotion and proper inflection, etc. to the text. Regardless of that, the content is captivating and engrossing. This is a very serious text for anyone seeking Heaven. Still, it is not dry or overly scholarly. It is not diffuse or obtuse in most regards. Instead, it is practical; a practical guide to purifying oneself so as to attempt to please God. Why please God? We all die. We all face judgement upon our death.
