"My Vocations," a blog for Catholics, recently posted a review of Be Holy: A Catholic's Guide to the Spiritual Life :

"It seems like I (for the most part) get just what I need when it comes to the Catholic Company's Reviewer Program... And in this one, Fr. Thomas Morrow really comes across as that 'dad' who warns and guides you, without taking a preachy tone.

The book starts out with discussions on what happens if you do (or don't) establish a life of holiness. What I liked most is that it explains that you don't need to recite a Litany of the Hours when just starting out, to be holy- God will reward your baby steps until you're running a marathon.

Part two is the 'meat" of living a holy life--Prayer--and all its forms, difficulties and rewards. I especially liked a story Fr. Morrow tells about a woman that was experiencing a low in her life as a wife and mother of four. Literally, it was the narration of my life as a mother and wife... do I really think my life would be just like hers if I did what she did? I don't know. But I do know that God wants me to open my life to him in prayer as much as possible."
