Scott Hahn, Matthew Leonard extend praise for ‘The Fulfillment of All Desire’

Fellow Catholics are continuing to extend their appreciation for Ralph Martin’s The Fulfilment of All Desire during this year, which is the ten-year anniversary of the book’s publication. You can click here to listen to a recent interview Ralph did with Matthew Leonard on The Fulfillment of All Desire and the call to holiness. Also, Dr. Scott Hahn recently included the following letter as part of Emmaus Road Publishing’s newsletter:

“Instant classic” is a term that sometimes gets thrown around too casually. But that was my assessment when The Fulfillment of All Desire: A Guidebook for the Journey to God Based on the Wisdom of the Saints by my friend Ralph Martin was published ten years ago—and events seem to have confirmed this designation. It has been the best-selling book in the history of Emmaus Road Publishing and a personal favorite of more than a few leading Catholic bishops, priests, scholars, and authors.

Since the book’s publication, Dr. Martin has continued to write and speak and serve as the president of Renewal Ministries. He is the director of Graduate Theology Programs in the New Evangelization at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. He was appointed by Benedict XVI as a Consultor to the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization and as a theological expert at the Synod on the New Evangelization in Rome.

All of this proves what I know undoubtedly to be true: That Ralph Martin knows keenly the needs of the Church today. And that is why now, more than ever, we want to place The Fulfillment of All Desire into the hands of Catholics who are thirsting for the deep waters of prayer and the spiritual life.

As Emmaus Road celebrates the tenth anniversary of this beloved classic, I urge you read and share the book in order to help enflame souls with the inspired wisdom of Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena, and all the other spiritual masters who provide illuminating instruction in The Fulfillment of All Desire.

Yours in Christ,

Scott Hahn, Ph.D.
