It does really demand concentration, as he explores different virtues and what it means to exercise them so as to be transformed into Christ, but it's worth the effort. It really will impact the way you live. (  ) laudemgloriae | Sep 2, 2009 |  This book was such a toil, and I mean that in the best way possible. It kept me really tied to and involved with my faith, because it's such a long and dense work that you've got to focus and contemplate. Hildebrand's point throughout the book is our necessary surrender, becoming "fools for Christ," to fully recognize the strength and gravity of Christianity. Of all of the chapters - more or less, each focuses on a different virtue - my favorites were finding freedom in Christ, holy mercy, and holy sorrow. Hildebrand is a fantastic philosopher and theologian, and this is a very worthwhile read (  ) the_awesome_opossum | Aug 13, 2008 | Originally a series of conferences given by Von Hildebrand after he fled Nazi Germany (where he was under sentence of death) this book makes the reader look into their own heart and bring about that transformation in Christ. A 20th Century spiritual classic that made Pope Pius XII call Von Hildebrand a 20th century Doctor of the Church. ( ) liamfoley | Nov 28, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
