This book is meant for any Christian who is trying to go deeper in his or her faith. Tom has creatively captured the essence of the path to joy, i.e. full union with God. Using today's language, while retaining consistency with Catholic doctrine, Tom frequently uses personal examples, some touching and some quite humorous, as he takes you through a stage by stage progression into a deeper spiritual relationship with God. There are reflection questions at the end of each chapter for personal or group study as well as many references to other works for further detail examination. There also is an appendix with specific suggestions on books, prayer and other mysteries of the Church.
