First, the Anchoress has kind words for my newest book – which isn’t out yet, but actually should be in the next month and a half, or so

From a correspondent, on Here.Now: A Catholic Guide to the Good Life

I converted in 1996 and have been on a very intense and life changing walk ever since.  Of course the intensity changes seasonally, but in general for the last 10 years my life has been seriously oriented towards God and away from the world.  So, when I skimmed the book I thought "I already know all of this" – but I’ll read it anyway.

Well, I was very pleasantly surprised!  Yes, I did already know and had in fact put into practice most of the things you mention, but it was very helpful to read your book and focus on "the good life" that comes through Christ.  Your book made me refocus on several parts of my discipleship and was very uplifting. …

Anyway, thanks for a concise, thoughtful, and action provoking book that is appropriate for Catholics at many different stages of the journey.  I am sure that many folks will "tighten up" their walk and draw closer to Him, from whom all good things flow,  after reading it.
