"​This 62-page book was easy to read, and all the information was very helpful. It is a great resource to keep handy to read and review again. It begins with defining stress and the ways it affects us. It covers the mystery of suffering and stress, recognizing and our reaction to stress, how prayer helps us, and strategies for dealing with stress. I will recommend it to my family and friends."

​Who is NOT stressed in this modern world where we are faced with an avalanche of information to sort through, a poor economy, and increased persecution and intolerance for people of faith? As Catholics, we should not give in to despair, but we do need practical suggestions to deal with the reality of increased stress in our lives. Thankfully, Mary Lou Rosien has written a thoughtful and practical guide to deal with all this stress. Managing Stress With the Help of Your Catholic Faith is well-organized and includes motivational quotes, simple checklists, and specific examples to guide the reader through strategies to deal with stress. She uses the helpful acronym COPE: Catholic (faith), Opportunity (to change behavior), Physical and Emotional, to apply to stressful situations. I really appreciate Mary Lou's faith perspective and am looking forward to applying this method and her suggestions in dealing with my ever-present daily stress."
