John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman is recognized as one of the greatest Christian thinkers of modern times and has been hailed as a great prophet of twentieth century Christianity. He was also a man of prayer and deep spirituality. To mark Newman's expected beatification later this year, A.N. Wilson has compiled this wide-ranging anthology of prayers, poems and meditations. Beginning with an engaging Introduction to Newman's life and thought, this anthology has been carefully arranged to provide daily readings over a six-month period. The readings cover the general themes of faith, prayer, the contemplation of Christ, discipleship, the meaning of holiness, and the hope of heaven.
