In this life, all of us invariably meet with obstacles and problems.  To overcome these difficulties can seem like an impossible task, especially if one has not developed habits of self-discipline, positive thinking and perseverance in faith.

Written during the early years of World War II, as a way to give hope to a world overshadowed with despair and uncertainty, this book seeks to anchor the reader in time-tested methods of self-discipline rooted in scripture and prayer.

Written by the author of The Spiritual Way, and filled with good advice and reflections, this little booklet is an ideal introduction to the spiritual life for young people as well as adults.
