Jesus as Friend

Based on the teachings of St. Josemaría, this series of short meditations gives you simple ways to make that saint’s passionate love for God your own.

One of the best books on the spiritual life I have ever read. I savored this book over the course of a few years! I didn't want it to end...:) It is a thin-ish little book filled with profound and beautiful truths and insights into how to draw closer to Our Lord as a true friend of the heart. :) I highly recommend this to anyone!

I've read one chapter of this book per day, as my spiritual reading. It contains lots of truths which help me live my Catholic faith. It covers a good range of topics, ranging from interior life to humility.

I especially like this quote "Where do I usually live in my thoughts, affections and desires? If your thoughts, affections and desires all converge on Jesus Christ, it is a sure proof that you are an interior soul. "

Loved this book!

Very solid Catholic thought and praxis, but they serve more as reminders. Wouldn't recommend as a spiritual reading, just a refresher.
