really liked it

Set as we are in the midst of snares, we all too easy grow cold and remiss in our longing after heaven. We have need, therefore, of some constant monitor, whose use shall be that when we have relaxed our efforts and lost ground, we may presently be roused from sloth, and may return to God, our true and highest good. It was not, therefore, from rash presumption, but from a great love for my God that I applied myself to the compilation of this little work; that I might always have about me, collected out of the choicest sayings of the holy fathers, a brief word or two ready to hand about my God; so that whenever I find I am growing cold, I may read, and reading be inflamed to love of Him. (Pg. 97)

This is a super read for meditations and a closer love for our creator.
However, this book isn't very well edited. It has a ton of typos! Minus one star.

Tamara This book is good in small bites. I need large chunks.
