Moral and spiritual guidance from one of the most distinguished and versatile champions of English spirituality.

That' s what Pope John Paul II called the great nineteenth-century convert John Henry Cardinal Newman - and this new collection of his writings on virtually every aspect of life in Christ shows why.

Editor John Hulsman here presents brief, readable excerpts from Newman' s sermons on faith, the true Christian life, temptations, the world, doubts, and the mysteries of the Catholic Faith. These selections give you a comprehensive overview of Newman' s profound and influential teachings on daily life as a Christian, including his wisdom on the Church, God' s Providence, the Mass, the intercession of Mary, prayer, temptation and sin, the Christian character, happiness, and much more. Full of Newman' s elegant prose and piercing Christian insight, this volume is not only a winning introduction to Newman: it' s also a remarkable resource for daily spiritual reading.
