Let Us Be What We Are: The Joys and Challenges of Living the Little Way by Clarence J. Enzler

Enzler has put together a devotional in classic Catholic style. The first half exposes the reader to how he began following the Little Way as modeled by Therese. It is lacking slightly in the first part do to the fact that Enzler died before finishing; however, this also give the reader an invitation to continue the journey not with Enzler's story but now with their story. The second half of the book are short devotionals reminding and strengthening those that follow the Way how if we would show more just Be what God has called us to Be then we would all live into our Sainthood.
These are best read just before bed, in my opinion. show less
