From the monastery: the little book that shows you How to be a Saint!
Yes, holiness is within your reach . . . and attaining it is far simpler than you think. Indeed, this book reveals all you need to know to get started. What’s more, you can start today! Just follow the steps in Holiness: A Guide for Beginners, and holiness will be yours — guaranteed.
Author and priest Hubert van Zeller spent sixty years in the monastery, striving for holiness and directing numerous retreats for persons who struggled with the ordinary obstacles to holiness that we all face. These long years of praying, preaching, and teaching won for Dom van Zeller a pure, simple wisdom about the path that leads to holiness — a holy wisdom that can now be yours.
“This book is a blessing. Filled with warmth and understanding.” - The Sign
“Christians hardly know what a saint is any more, or that it is what we must all become. This humble little book is a sound and practical way to turn that around. It is exactly what its subtitle says: a guide for beginners, a ‘sanctity for dummies,’ a book that C. S. Lewis might have written for a confirmation class.” - Peter Kreeft
