What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Newman is one of the greatest of all spiritual writers, a master of English prose and an incomparable expositor of the mysteries of God and creation. This wonderful collection captures the heart of his eloquence and warmth. A superb achievement.”—Philip Zaleski, editor of THE BEST SPIRITUAL WRITING SERIES“I would feel presumptuous in recommending John Henry Newman. It is like saying Mozart is a great composer. One can only acknowledge that Newman is one of the spiritual masters of world history, and express gratitutde for this intelligent selection from the feast of his genius.”—The Reverend Richard John Neuhaus, President of The Religion and Public Life Institute
