I enjoyed this book a lot. It's interesting how Joseph isn't mentioned much in scripture yet how important a figure he is when you take into account the life of Jesus as a man.

Great little book that is easily read day by day. Leaves you with practical lessons and guidance on how to be a man as modeled by St Joseph.
