Reviews

[London Baker]

At first I was a little turned off by this book. I myself am not Catholic and it began by going through a bunch of Catholic teachers. However after the first 20 or so pages it took a turn.

This is honestly one of the deepest books I’ve ever read and also one of the most practical. It teaches Christian meditation so well and also a fresh Christian take on environmentalism.

Overall, a great read. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a short but immensely deep book.
