This excellent resource offers great inspiration and motivation to individuals who are concentrating on developing their spiritual life, as well as to those who are just beginning.

Sr. Melannie provides a true reality check to help us determine how we live our faith today. In an engaging style, she defines and describes 20 specific indicators of a healthy spirituality. These indicators: self-esteem, wonder, friendship, courage, tolerance, joy, forgiveness, and the like, are “signs” rooted in everyday life, yet solidly based on Scripture. Drawing from her own personal experience and that of key spiritual writers, Sr. Melannie demonstrates how to use these signs to help judge just where we stand in term of our Christian spirituality and how much further we can advance on our journey of faith.
