Review Quotes

Feeling stressed instead of blessed? Here's the perfect antidote. These short essays will make you nod your head in recognition--and maybe giggle--as they help you grow closer to the Lord.--Melanie Rigney "author, Blessed Are You: Finding Inspiration from Our Sisters in Faith" (1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)

Who cannot love a crabby mystic? Mary Lea Hill, FSP, takes a warm and human approach to the Beatitudes with the clear-eyed recognition that, so far from being warm and gooey platitudes, they are the same road to happiness that Jesus walked. That is, they are part of his counter-intuitive call to find our life by losing it. The thing is, that really works and Blessed are the Stressed shows us how. Here is a book about finding joy in real life, not cloud cuckoo land. Read it and find happiness.--Mark P. Shea "author, Mary, Mother of the Son" (1/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)
