“A Feast for Hungry Souls is an outstanding read for any Catholic longing to get closer to Jesus. It contains a banquet of wisdom gleaned from the lives and writings of thirty of the greatest spiritual masters of the Church. Making careful introductions to the reader, Muto selects choice tidbits from the writings of each one, teaching you how to implement their timeless practices and delve deeper in your relationship with Christ by following their practical advice. If you want to experience friendship with Christ and to pray more fully, pick up a copy of this book!”

“Only the saints and spiritual masters are our true guides in sustaining a Christian spiritual life. To prayerfully read this gift from Susan Muto is to be ushered into the deepest waters of Christian prayer and thought, a depth, meant to refresh all, as there is no elite when it comes to the call to holiness.”

“What you are holding in your hands is a tour de force, an exquisite offering of Christian spiritual thought and exploration from the earliest Church Fathers, through the great mystics of the Church, both male and female, right up to the twentieth-century minds that have informed and enriched our faith. Their dogged pursuit of truth, love, mercy, and justice is revealed in their encounters with the Christ who is all of those things, ever-new, ever challenging. Rarely has a book been so perfectly titled as Susan Muto’s A Feast for Hungry Souls: a smorgasboard of wisdom, instruction, and inspiration from which we are invited to feed, whether we are looking for a mere morsel or a full meal. This book is a banquet, and it should be included in the library of any Catholic who is intent on deepening their relationship to Christ Jesus.”

“While there are a number of introductions to the Christian spiritual masters, none are quite so accessible, informative, or helpful as Susan Muto’s A Feast for Hungry Souls. Resisting the urge to reduce the great figures of Christian spirituality to a series of cliches, Muto devotedly dives into the nuances of a wide range of spiritual masters from early Christianity through today. A Feast for Hungry Souls is that rare book accessible enough for parish study while also possessing a bibliography rich enough to serve as the basis of an undergraduate or graduate textbook on spirituality.”

“As a lifelong student and teacher of the spiritual life, I have often been asked, ‘What does someone who lived centuries ago have to say to me about how to live life in the twenty-first century?’ Susan Muto answers that question. She has a unique ability to astutely name the ‘soul sicknesses’ of contemporary life and provide a spiritual antidote through wisdom gained through the experiences of ancient, medieval, and modern spiritual masters. This book is filled with insight, practical advice, and probing questions that will help readers grow in wholeness and holiness at every stage of the spiritual journey.”
