A Heart Like His: Meditations on the Sacred Heart of Jesus

by Thomas D. Williams

There's no greater adventure than getting to know Jesus Christ. But this involves more than finding out where he lived, what he ate and who he hung around with. Above all, it means getting to know his heart . In this amazing book, Dr. Thomas D. Williams offers a unique look into the heart of Christ, a heart that burns with limitless love for you. In 32 lively yet learned reflections and prayers -- one selection for each day of June (the month of the Sacred Heart) plus two bonus alternates -- this popular theologian helps you develop a Sacred Heart devotion that is both richly traditional and rousingly fresh. In June or any time of year you choose, these daily readings guide you on a spiritual voyage to the heart of God. By the end of the journey you ll know what it means that our Lord is not only true God but also the truest of men -- yesterday, today and forever. You really can know Him. You really can love Him. You really can let Him change your heart into a heart like His.

On my second reading. Meant especially for the month of June which is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a daily devotion about one aspect of Jesus' heart each day and encouragement to examine our own heart in that light. Very encouraging!
