What is God's Will for us

Small insirational book I read in a Chapel, then bought. A wonderful bedtime prayer if you are stuggling to understand what is meant by "God's Will" in all things. Small and very easy to read and understand.

Grand Antidote for Modern Mediocrity

Gerald Vann's slim book goes to the heart of calming our troubled hearts: accepting the will of God. My favorite section is his commentary on the value of genuflection. There are many other passages in this small book worth underlining and taking to heart, including passages dealing with providence, liturgy, and loving with the love of God.

It helps MY restless heart!

This little work is a gem. I am used to reading "high theology" and do not often take the time to read something short and simple to refresh my soul and keep me grounded in the basic truths of Christianity -- foremost of which is to keep one's eyes ever on the Lord, always striving to do HIS will and not our own. Busy folks (and who isn't?) will appreciate the fact that this book can be read in one evening, and though it is simple, it is simply profound. Keep it by your bedside and pick it up whenever you find yourself getting caught up in the trials and snares of this temporal world. It will lift your gaze back up to eternity and put things in proper perspective. On an asthetical note, Sophia Press always has beautifully presented books, with striking covers, and attractive print. It makes the reading of these truths all the more enjoyable.
