This book is full of simple ideas for practicing the presence of God in your life, praying more, and starting to create a more Catholic culture.

Each chapter starts with an overall reflection and this is followed by shorter reflection and then "hacks" from Armstrong and others. Some of these you may have heard of before, many will be unfamiliar to you. It's good in that it takes into account our busy lives as laypeople and incorporates things we can all do.

Ultimately though I think it is chiefly a book for beginners and Catholics who see weekly Mass as good enough. While some aspects of Catholic culture are noted often, such as saying the Divine mercy chaplet, others are ignored, for example celebrating name days or ideas on ways to make Christ really the center of Christmas.

While I realize she did seek out others for ideas I felt that she didn't look at Catholic culture or at Catholic history. As I thought about the book, I thought about aspects of culture she missed, for example the European Catholic custom of sharing meal together after Mass, or the idea of a Chrismons at Christmas time or the world-wide tradition of Corpus Christi processions. Where are these?

It's a good start but with a bit more historical and cultural awareness she could have done so much more.
