Reviews
Do you find yourself seeking spiritual growth only to be discouraged by a lack of guidance? In Practical Holiness, Albert Haase, OFM, explores the sensible advice that Pope Francis offers us as we become aware of our own unique path to holiness. Fr. Albert's questions at the end of each chapter and the 40 questions at the end of this book are extraordinarily helpful for personal reflection and spiritual direction, especially during seasons like Advent and Lent. This book should be required reading for every minister in the Church--and anyone yearning for holiness! -Kimberly Mailley, MAPM, Assistant Director, Center for Diaconal Formation, Archdiocese of Newark If you thought holiness was about downward glances, muttered prayers, and eating nothing but bread and water, Pope Francis has some good news for you. Fr. Albert Haase, OFM, highlights the Pope's understanding of what it means to be a saint in the 21st century--and you'll be surprised by what you'll discover. -James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
Albert Haase is a much-needed spiritual guide for our times. He holds keen insight for the subtleties of the spiritual journey. His guidance gently leads us along the path that makes meaning out of life. -Phileena Heuertz, author of Mindful Silence and Pilgrimage of a Soul Do you find yourself seeking spiritual growth only to be discouraged by a lack of guidance?

Haase's illuminating reflections on Gaudete et Exsultate will convince you that you can be a saint. Pope Francis's down-home message of holiness in action is unfolded with testimonies, anecdotes, and wisdom from Haase's longtime experience as a spiritual director. As I read the book, I could sense grace tugging at my heart and drawing me closer to the Lord. -Bert Ghezzi, author of The Angry Christian and Saints at Heart
