Subtitled First Steps in Becoming a Saint and published by Ignatius Press in 2016, this book addresses what Kreeft calls the most important question: how one becomes holy. Drawing on the saints and especially on Jean-Pierre de Caussade's Abandonment to Divine Providence, it presents holiness as surrender to God's will in the present moment.
