FURROW PAPERBACK
Book Summary
This book gathers a collection of spiritual thoughts and considerations that invite the reader to deepen their interior life and seek holiness amidst daily occupations. Written by St. Josemaría Escrivá, Furrow is presented as a practical manual for Christian growth, offering brief yet incisive reflections that illuminate the path toward a more authentic relationship with God. It is a work that combines theological depth with direct and accessible language, intended for those who wish to transform their faith into a daily commitment.
What is it about?
Furrow is a work of spiritual meditation structured in aphorisms and short reflections. Throughout its pages, St. Josemaría Escrivá addresses topics such as prayer, sacrifice, humility, charity, and the struggle for virtue in ordinary life. The book does not follow a linear narrative, but rather offers independent points for meditation that the reader can approach according to their spiritual needs. Each thought is designed to be assimilated into daily life, helping the reader find God in their work, family, and social relationships. It is a guide for those who seek to live their faith with consistency and depth, without separating spiritual life from professional or family life.
