Reviews:
“A successful spiritual life needs the same discipline that a successful diet or physical training requires. Father Landry’s very helpful book prompts us to develop such a regimen for growth in holiness. It’s hardly a ‘self-help’ book, but a ‘soul-help’ one, reminding us on each page that the real help comes only from the Lord.” — Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York

“From routine tasks to complex projects and special events, if we are going to be successful, we need to have a plan. Father Landry provides us a practical, accessible, and very helpful means of developing a plan for living our faith and growing in holiness.” — Séan Cardinal O’Malley, OFM, Cap., Archbishop of Boston
