Christ, the Life of the Soul by Blessed Columba Marmion

This is a classic guide to the spiritual life that had a direct influence on several popes, generations of priests and religious, and countless members of the laity. In clear, inspiring language, the author explores every aspect of Catholic dogma - with penetrating insight - but his great emphasis is on the person of Christ, and the doctrine of Divine Adoption. Written for Christians in every walk of life, and filled with practical knowledge and timeless wisdom. Long out of print, here is Marmion's greatest work in a vibrant new translation that captures all of its depth and spiritual power, while remaining meticulously faithful to the French language original. Newly translated by Alan Bancroft.
