USGF 54 Day Basic Training Book

Literally, this book, the 54 Day Basic Training in Holiness, is a lifeline. The world doesn't even know it's drowning in darkness and sin. We do. I just wrote out a spiritual communion inside the end page, and I'm ready to do battle against the enemy. This book guides me step by step through an awesome battle plan. Meditating on a daily Rosary for 27 days of petition and 27 days of thanksgiving, draws me closer to the Blessed Mother. She's our field commander, really. She summons the legions of angels that help us through each day as the darkness grows.
We focus, not on the evil that enroaches on our daily lives, but on practical steps to defeat the Enemy: learning the virtues we need to maintain our battle armor, meditating on our Virgo Potens, and the power God has placed in Her pure hands.
I end each Rosary by singing the Salve Regina, and wrap my petitions/thanksgivings in a spiritual communion to please our Lady.
I like to pray before a framed picture of the Holy Family, to remind me to pray for our families. Each family strengthens the church. Each family that prays -- even if you're the only one, praying for a family of unbelievers -- you're not alone. We're all praying with you. Get this book and start doing battle immediately. Time is short. Time to join up!

I like this little book, it is clean and neatly laid out; easy to follow. Comes with 3 ribbons. I wanted to get this in time for the 54 day Novena that started on Assumption. So I paid for 2 day shipping. A week later and I still had not received the book. I emailed them to cancel since it was then past time to start the Novena. Two days later, the book arrived and finally heard from customer service....telling me that they were shipping the book. Go figure.

I guess I was expecting daily devotions or something "easy," but no - it is a 54-day novena to prepare you for total consecration to Jesus through Our Holy Mother Mary. I'm on Day 15. It's not easy, but it is going to be worth it. I recommend it to anyone like me who really needs to spend focused time getting to know Mother Mary at a deeper level.

I don’t know what took me so long to get this book. It is a Jewel among books. I keep finding more and more prayers in this book. It is so rich in Old and new prayers. Very instrumental very instructive a very holy thought through book. It really keeps you on target and keeps the plum line where it needs to be. You will not regret the purchase.
