1 review for The Fulfillment of All Desire: A Guidebook for the Journey to God Based on the Wisdom of the Saints

  1. Michael Lindner

    Are you “stuck” on your spiritual journey? Are you wondering how to take the next step? Are you wondering how the saints got where they were? This book shows how different saints went through the process of coming closer to God, and how you can too. Chock full of wisdom from doctors of the church. It’s been very helpful to me.
