Paperback. Condition: Good. Timeless and readable, the brief reflections in this volume can be ?rummaged through? for spiritual nurture and wise counsel. They first appeared as articles in Christ is our Hope, a monthly publication of the Catholic Diocese of Joliet aimed at evangelizing and educating.
