The Way
Read these counsels slowly. Pause to meditate on these thoughts. They are things that I whisper in your ear—confiding them—as a friend, as a brother, as a father. And they are being heard by God.”

Furrow
In a note to a 1950 edition of The Way, Saint Josemaría promised readers a new book —Furrow—soon to be published. The material was written and organized into chapter headings; only the numbering of the points of meditation and a stylistic revision remained

Holy Rosary
One December morning in 1931, Fr. Josemaría dashed off this small book in one sitting, just after celebrating Mass. He poured into these pages an example of his way of meditating the mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary, and of reciting the Rosary. Parting with his reader, he confides, “My friend: I have told you just part of my secret. It is up to you, with God’s help, to discover the rest. Take courage. Be faithful. Become little (...) If you say the Rosary in this way, you will learn to pray well.”

Latest reviews of St Josemaria Books app for iPhone and iPad
You have to buy any books that you want to read. None are free that I could See. Basically the ap is an empty bookcase. You then buy the books. Just buy the official ap for 14.00 or whatever it costs. This stuff should all be free.... Cut the loss, save the world! ;-)
It is only 1.99 per book. The other app costs $14 so if you add all the books up itll be about the same. Anyway there is a lot to read in each book
What youre downloading here is a bookstore from a bookstore... Makes no sense. Nothing is free other than the opportunity to purchase the books. No samples. No demos. Nothing. Just list of prices of books with the ability to purchase them.
Im downloaded app, downloaded three books at I believe 4.99 each, none of them has appear either on my iPad or my iPhone and I tried to report a problem before writing this review but was told I couldnt be connected to store, Id say until they fix these issues, or return my money Im not not a believer In this app at all :( very disappointed as I has very high hopes.....
Great app to easily find and purchase Saint Josemarías most popular writings in a variety of languages. Its simple and sometimes simple is genius! My guess is that poor reviewers of this app just had different expectations of what it would do. I fully recommend! Now I can easily read points to meditate wherever I am.
