Reviews:
"I can't recommend this book highly enough to anyone wanting to overcome obstacles in their spiritual life and grow closer to Christ. I've given away so many copies to others.
Ralph Martin has compiled the writings of the Doctors of the Church with his extremely helpful commentary.
The Doctors of the Church are declared so because their writings are of universal relevance and benefit to the whole Church. This also means the Doctors are often making the same points but using different terminology to express their ideas. Ralph collates these overlapping ideas while bringing out the nuances of each Saint. In doing so he has provided in a single text what would have otherwise have taken voluminous reading to ascertain.
I turn to it time and time again discovering new riches each time. I am very thankful I came across this in a Catholic bookstore."
"This book will be deemed a Christian classic. It is a comprehensive spiritual guide to the spiritual journey of union with God using the teachings of the 7 doctors of the Catholic faith on the Spiritual journey. Worth every cent and more! I highly recommend this book."
"Is it possible to give a book more than 5 stars??
This book was absolutely incredible! Every Catholic needs to prioritize this book and read it ASAP. Ralph Martin answers every question you’ve ever had or will have about the spiritual journey in a comprehensive and easy to understand format. The wisdom from the 7 saints and Martin has made everything about the faith so much clearer.
Do not be intimidated by this book! Just start reading and you’ll quickly fall in love. I plan on rereading this book at least once a year to assess my own spiritual journey and my next steps."
