I love this book! It contains cartoonist illustrations and easy to read.

I look forward to read more of John Bergsma books.

Many desire and pray to be able to discern, but what is the spiritual gift for this?

Why is Mother Mary the Mother of the Church?

What are the three intimacies of God’s Love?

What are the pleasures of the world?

When we seek the Kingship of Christ, what does it mean?

Fulton Sheen explained it all in this book.

Main takeaways for me quoted from the book:

1. Things don’t last. Only God is forever.

2. God takes good care of us as though he has no other in his care.

3. The higher part of our nature aspires after eternal bliss while our lower self is held back by the love of temporal pleasure.

4. Humans waste themselves on the temporal pleasures of the visible world.

5. Bible is the means by which God intended us to look for him and believe in him.

Jesus said: Let the last be first and the first be last, what does He mean? I found the answer in this book. The last four things that will happen to all of us.
What will happen to me after I draw my last breath, will determine how I live now..... Thank you Jesus

A compelling book on Savation History from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Solomon ...exile, return from exile... till how Jesus is the fulfillment. It is written in simple language and author provides cute illustrations on the characters in the book to make his point.  It is amazingly broken down into parts easily understood for readers. Wonderful work.

The title is eye-catching. It makes a light hearted yet spiritually fulfilling read. The book is presented with the author conversing with God.  There will be some chapters that inspire you to stop and reflect on your relationship with God. Recommended!

So far all of Henri's works have spoken directly to my heart, helping me make sense of events in my past or re-look the circumstances I currently find myself in. Borne out of his weakness, vulnerability and struggle, I find Henri's writing encouraging, because he is a spiritual guide who knows what I am feeling, what I am going through, and does not judge me. This book is about moving out of the house of fear into the house of Love, which God calls us into.

1 John 4:18 "In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love."

A good introduction to modern liturgy written and presented in Questions & Answers style, so that various liturgy ministries are able to take reference to.  However, the book was written in 1995, not all can be applied in our Archdiocese.

A great book to read which opened my eyes to see God’s involvement in our daily lives when we meditate and pray the mantra daily to stay in touch with HIS Word and be guided by the Holy Spirit into service to others more meaningfully from the heart.

Are you yearning to learn more about the Mass or the Eucharistic Celebration?  This book is recommended to those who are waiting for Fr. Terence's Eucharist Explained session or even for those who had attended to re-capture the parts you had missed out in the talk.  What does the Priest pray silently? Why do we need to stand, kneel and sit at certain parts of the mass?  What is Liturgy and is Mass scriptural based?  What are the traditions that were handed down?  Read this book!!! It is a great guide in the descriptions, explanations and references.  Comprehensive yet concise.  Apply it when we attend Mass to make our learnings come alive! It definitely have sharpened my awareness of the meaning behind each part of the celebration and our participation as oneness in the heart and mind!

A book that contains just 10 short articles.  Simple book for readers who are looking out for an easy-to-read book.  If you are interested in discipleship, this is good to start with and apply them in our daily living.  After reading this, I am reminded once again the difference between "perfection and holiness"  and that "everything essential is invisible" and the role of Jesus' disciples is to "make visible what is essential".

A book with 4 Chapters, but a little more profound to understand the context of the story back then in those days.

A good to know knowledge that Women can be independent and women have a lot of Power and  strong mental capacity, lots of determination.

Growing up in a Presbyterian denomination, the search for a deeper relationship with God has made me seek deeper questions of my faith and this book has really helped me ponder and to see how Scott and Kimberly, who were also Presbyterians before their conversion, had many similar issues like me of differences in point of view of the faith, and how they found answers and how they manage to overcome their issues with their beliefs who eventually found their way to Catholicism.

Definitely a must read!

A book that provides the insight of our Church richness in Tradition and Scripture which many of us may have taken for granted. The liturgy, sacraments and our Papa that the other denomination are missing, we are a community bind in His love.  I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of coming back to the Church or anyone who has their dear ones walking out of Church jumping to another denomination, to gain insights of the contrasts.  May we treasure all that we have and put our faith in action, as Jesus' true disciples.

A very intriguing and thought provoking  book to read . Two words stood out very strongly when I read this book

“Solitude “ and “Silence “

How can  I be a better disciple firstly In silence which is my quiet one on one time with the Lord when HE speaks to me through my daily Bible  readings

Secondly how do I share HIS Word to others in “Silence” - by being non judgemental ,self righteous , or imposing your own wAys and self values on others .

Something quite challenging to achieve if I’m not guided by the Holy Spirit to be of service to others like Christ did with LOVE.

God’s Peace be with u who reads this book .🙏🏻
