Pi Patel read this! Haha! :D
I read this several years ago, kuya. Great book!
Read this in college. Easy to understand, impossible to implement.
Hi Dante! It's good to see you here at goodreads :-) Yes, this is a great book, and is a great help for those interested in building up the interior life.
Hi Erwin!
It's great to see you here, too! And such a surprise. Yup, it's a profound book. I plan to read it again. :)
How long have you been a member of Goodreads? Thanks for the add! :)
Ah okay, nice! Looking forward to your reviews hehe. :)
Ditto on what Dante said, I am looking forward to your review.
I have finished this today and I liked it! Review this afternoon if I have time.
I haven't read the work, but, when I looked it up, I found that it influenced the Jesuit St. Ignatius and the Methodist John Wesley -- as well as Jose Rizal, of course.

Yes, but I wonder how Jose Rizal applied the teachings in this book. He even had Josephine Bracken pregnant while he was in Dapitan!
Interesting review, KD, especially where you state that you will never claim that you are religious. This is a puzzle to me because I read your reviews of deeply religious material which seem to be a way of life for you. I am not being critical of this at all, but an impression I have.

I, too, was surprised. I have friends who are religious -- particularly one of my sisters-in-law -- and others who are atheists. I'm always interested in what brought them to their respective positions. I attend church most Sundays; however, thinking about it, many more of my friends are atheists or agnostics than believers. I'm not sure what that says about me -- or my friends.

B, my definition of a religious person is somebody who is almost like a priest: who lives the Gospel in all the facets of his/her life. I have some friends like this and I will never ever be like them.

Ivonne, same here. I also wonder about that. If you really try to know them, there are some reasons. For example, I have a friend who has low esteem and she tries to cover up for it by being seen as religious. Well, that was before. The last time I heard about her was that she was thinking of entering the convent so maybe it (the low self-esteem) only served as a reason for her finding God in her life.
