Father Thomas Williams is one of those rare but wonderful writers who both thinks deeply and articulates artfully. His exceptional ability to communicate moving truths for living a holy life are on display in his latest masterwork, KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG. Taking what could be a dry, philosophical topic, Father Williams explains how the conscience is formed by the Holy Spirit, making it an essential tool for daily living. He uses such familiar and surprising characters as Jiminy Cricket and Adolf Hitler to illustrate the positive choices conscience can direct - and the disaster that results when a conscience is undeveloped or ignored. Questions he tackles that include 'Is it more important to be smart or good?' 'Is there a morally right thing to do in every situation?' and 'Is the Christian moral life an exciting adventure, or a necessary burden?' Rich, provocative, and practical for everyday decision making, KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG is a must-read for all who hunger for personal holiness.
