Now you can, too.

John Portavella shows you how to develop for yourself a personalized plan of life that will enable you to balance your duties to God, your family, and your work, and even to make time for leisure. You'll discover easy, practical ways to fit prayer, devotions, and spiritual reading into your family situation and professional life. In just a few weeks, your cares and anxieties will give way to holy peace as you awaken to the workings of God's loving grace in your life.
