Although this book is for priests it applies to everyone's development of their spiritual life Catholic and non-catholic. Bishop Sheen shows how the Holy Spirit is a great influence in people's life. He also concentrates on the sacrament of Penance and what it truly means.
While he talks about the responsibilities of the priesthood. While I thought about it what he notes can be applied as an everyday responsibility as we live our lives through love for each other.
