Nothing wishy-washy, no glossing over of sin. Just old-school Catholic spirituality. One thing to bear in mind while reading is that it was written over 100 years ago, in England. Very definitely "pre-Vatican II", and it's a breath of fresh air from the past!
This book was okay. It was broken into two sections, obviously on patience and humility. I do believe it got across the fundamental message that spiritual growth can only happen once we empty ourselves of pride and self-love. However, I felt it was a little disjointed in its approach--perhaps if it were more direct in offering suggestions on how to grow in these virtues as well giving examples of how famous people grew in these virtues, I would have found more meaning in it overall. Still, though, a good book for meditating on two important and hard-to-achieve virtues.
I've never submitted a review on a book before, but I feel compelled to do so by this book's importance and excellence - 100% recommend.
This is a GREAT book that challenges you to greater holiness, specifically regarding humility and patience. I didn't give it 5 stars only because it is written in an older style and is therefore somewhat hard to follow (IMO, at least). It's worth it though
One of the best, most insightful books I've read. Highly recommend.
This is an excellent book that I will want to read over and over to get all the insights to patience & humility.
