    This book pushed me through lent and convicted me in a way that I never was before, but I definitely feel more ready and willing to deny myself and do God’s will than I was before I had picked up this book.

    I find my self constantly buying hard copies of this book for my friends. It’s my daily read. Each time I finished it, I start back at page 1 and read it again. It abounds with Wisdom and insight for a more Godly life.

    I inherited a copy of this book from my mom, which she got from her moms library. I've been unlucky in finding the same translators (Aloysius Croft and Harry F. Bolton) and publisher (Bruce Publishing Co.) but after reading the first few pages, I was not disappointed. I suggest this book to anyone who wants to renew their faith or for those who needs help finding their way.

    I found this in hardcover and Barnes n noble and have fallen in love as a perfect supplication to finding inner peace. Gives a self-discipline/philosophical approach to understanding the guidance that Jesus came to us as the word of God intended. By far the best book I've found to help calm the soul aside from the book "as a man thinketh"
