This author reads my mind.

[Amanda Lauer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a quick read with 40 segments on why the Eucharist matters. This can be read cover to cover or it can be used as a mediation tool for Lent, reading one segment each day and then contemplating the questions at the end of each segment. With relatable stories, this is easy to read but the ideas presented will stick with you after you've finished reading it.

[George Bastedo IV · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I liked it nonetheless. This was a good series of reflections on how the Lord desires to break into our everyday lives and is calling us to grow closer to Him.

[Mary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forty 2-3 page chapters of reflections are down-to-earth for the average person ready to grow closer to the Lord.
This was perfect for Eucharistic Adoration, as each chapter has a brief prayer starter.

Excellent! Every Catholic should read this.
