The Christian's life in this world is a journey in search of the love of Christ. St. Josemar?a's book is an open invitation to set out on that journey, and its final stage speaks to us of the love that comes, as a result of seeking and finding Christ, as the fulfillment of that arduous journey, a love that, in fact, was there all along, seeking us out.--Bishop Javier Echevarr?a, from theintroduction

Reflecting Saint Josemar?a Escriv?'s conviction that God can be found in the everyday, The Way blends passages from sacred Scripture with anecdotes drawn from Escriv?'s life and work, snatches of conversation, and selections from his personal letters. These short, poignant meditations, totaling 999 "points," together form a guide to a better life and "a more worthy soul." The Way beautifully conveys Escriv?'s belief that the human is not foreign to the divine, and that the fully Christian spiritual attitude can be described as unity of life.
