This book is disturbing and alarming, because in it, as in a mirror, we sometimes appear in a rather unsightly light. It is a demand addressed to everyone to become better, to become higher than the usual image of oneself, woven from self-regrets and self-justifications: to become worthy of the birthright that God gave to man as a guarantee of eternal life.

This book encourages and consoles because it does not contain the “fear of God” traditional for mystical insights: God does not condemn a person, whatever his choice

shows him the way to Himself.
