For most of us these days, work and distractions compete with malice as major obstacles barring our way to Heaven. We see the path that lies wide before us; we resolve to tread it faithfully with daily prayer, meditation, and good works; and we even manage to stay the course for day or so.
Then along comes an unexpected visitor or family strife or a project that demands overtime. Our meditations get postponed, our prayers grow infrequent, and before we realize it, we've somehow forgotten our resolve to seek Heaven daily.
This book solves that problem.
Put it by your bedside. First thing in the morning or last thing at night, take it up and spend ten minutes reading it, just one chapter a day. Adopt the wisdom in that chapter as your own personal theme for the next twenty-four hours: "Revere the name of Jesus" or "Be faithful in little things" or "Forgive others." There are more than sixty such themes here. In clear, simple, practical ways, each shows you how to make your own the spiritual virtue that forms the topic of the chapter.
