Walk Humbly With Your God: Simple Steps to a Virtuous Life

by Andrew Apostoli

After the World Trade Towers went down in New York, Father Apostoli ministered at the morgue set up at Ground Zero. When search teams discovered the body of a police officer or firefighter, an honor guard formed and gathered the body with great reverence. For Father Apostoli, these moments vividly captured the unspoken code of these heroic public "We go in together, we come out together."

Christians, if they are to have any impact in today's world, have something of the same we fight the good fight, side by side, ready to lay down our lives for one another. Such heroism doesn't come naturally. As Walk Humbly With Your God points out, it is in the day-to-day training, in taking the simple steps to holiness, that heroism becomes second nature.

Father Apostoli provides an inspirational guide to conquering our faults, growing in prayer and acquiring the virtues that enable us to walk with God and live for others.

This was for our OLG book group.

This book is a disjointed collection of chapters on a variety of themes. I can't recall even one idea explored (other than bilocation) that left a memory.

I don't know if it's just me, but I really was not impressed. I felt like I was stepping way back in time. It could just be because I find it hard to accept some things as fact and the author does not.

Whether I failed or the book failed is not important at this time. Perhaps after our group, I will feel differently.

I always enjoy Father Andrews writings. He has a way of explaining the faith in clear and concise manner. He shows how growing in holiness and virtue is not only important in our spiritual lives, but in our daily lives as well.
I recommend this book to all not just Christians, but anyone wanting to grow in spirituality and to grow closer to Christ.

Pro - Purpose of prayer; would read again
Con - a little dry and slow

[Kim Johnston]

Overall, I found this book insightful and enlightening. I got a little bogged down towards the end of Part One and ended up setting the book aside for a while. I'm not sure if that was due to the material or timing or what. Regardless, once I got into Parts Two and Three I was once again engaged. I am glad I read it and can see myself reading it again.
