This book was nothing short of outstanding. Fr. Mike's explanation of the reality of sin that we all share... Always coupled with the abundant mercy of Jesus renewed my love for this sacrament. The different ways of examining ones conscience was also very helpful. I keep the book closer at hand!
Such an amazing book! It gets right to the heart of reconciliation...which is the heart of God. Thank you for helping me to see the spirit of reconciliation for what it really is...an opportunity to get back fully to God.
This book lacks a list of the 10 Commandments. They should be the start of the examination of conscience, then go on to the 7 Deadly Sins.
Particularly for a new Catholic, or a Catholic returned after a long absence absence, a complete list is vital.
I was lost for at least 25 years and this book guided me back to the Lord through reconciliation. It was very difficult to remember and admit all my sins since I was lost. The Holy Spirit empowered me to finish the book and accept my sins. I went to confession on 3/9/24 scared and nervous. I spent at least 8 minutes in confession and took 3 days to remember and write down all my sins. It truly is a beautiful book for those who have not been to confession for a period of time or never been. Within the book you will gain enlightenment and empowerment to receive the sacrament of reconciliation. Glory to God,Jesus and The Holy Spirit for flowing through Fr. Josh and Fr. Mike to write this gift of salvation. Thank you God bless and peace be with you.
I have not yet read the entire book, but I have already found it so helpful as I prepared for Confession prior to Christmas Day. The appendix offers some reflections to consider in the examination of conscience, and this made it so much more real for me. The first section on the power of Confession inspired me to WANT to confess my sins and reunite my soul with Our Lord and Savior. I brought this book right into the confessional with me, and will do so again and again!
