S.C. Biela's book offers profound insight to readers who, overwhelmed with the busyness and stress of daily life, experience deserts of loneliness and routine.

Sławomir Biela

Cardinal Gerald Cyprien Lacroix, describes as follows: "Instead of striving for perfection by our own means and through our willpower, the author introduces us to the way of imperfection; to descend into the heart of one's own poverty to discover God's unconditional love and mercy. God does not love us because we are good, but because He is good"

The Way of Imperfection: Holiness for the Poor

André Daigneault

An international bestseller in the field of Christian spirituality, this book about the interior life is a call to abandon oneself to God according to the Gospel edict: "unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven" (Mt 18:3). Drawing on his experience as a much sought after spiritual director, the author manages to simply and clearly capture the reader's attention and awaken a yearning to experience God and follow a specific path to sanctity. Some quotes from the book: "Every moment of your life is a moment of meeting with the Presence that is loving you." (6) "In the light of faith, try to look at your own imperfections in such a way that you are not saddened by them: Christ accepts you as you are. You can go to Him with all your imperfections and weaknesses. He will repair what you have done wrong and complete all that you lack." (81) "This first sacrament of the Church is the beginning of our being 'hidden with Christ in God.' Baptism is the origin and source of faith. It begins a supernatural life in us, which is a life of faith, hope, and love." (168-169) "St. Francis never criticized anyone. He believed that if evil was all around, it was he, and not others, who must first be converted." (178)

In the Arms of Mary: Third Edition

Biela, S C

S. C. Biela is able to explain deep insights about the spiritual life based on such Doctors of the Church as St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Liseux, and St. John of the Cross in an easy-to-read language. He helps the reader comprehend the ways GOD works in the everyday ordinary events of life. GOD Alone Suffices is the second book in his collection of five English translated works. In it, he sheds light on the illusory reliances commonly leaned on in the material, physical and spiritual realms, all of which can never fulfill the longing of one's heart. Mr. Biela helps the reader to understand how GOD, in His merciful love, is the Protagonist in the story of a soul, leading us to complete surrender and reliance on Him alone.

GOD Alone Suffices, Fourth American Edition

What is standing in our way of being our authentic selves and living life fully in the way that God intends? What has wounded us? What frightens us? The author pulls from the notable work of psychologists, saints, philosophers, educators, counselors, clergy, and more to arrive at the conclusion that: "The long road of serenity must go through the rediscovery of God living in us." This book brings hope to the reader who is looking for healing and a life that is simpler, either for oneself or for a loved one that is hurting.
