The Way, an all-time spiritual classic, has sold more than 5 million copies. It has 999 brief counsels for meditation. The first edition was published in 1934 under the title Consideraciones Espirituales.
Furrow Like The Way, this book is made up of passages from Sacred Scripture, snatches of conversation, personal experiences, and passages from letters of the founder of Opus Dei. Furrow consists of 1,000 points: compact, alive, and incisive.
The Forge Through reading and reflection, The Forge leads the individual soul to the forge of divine love and enkindles within it a desire for holiness and apostolate. They are in the nature of friendly suggestions of fatherly advice for those who decide to take their Christian life seriously.

One could say that he was the saint of ordinary life."
