Fr. Faber, a prominent figure in the Oxford Movement and later a distinguished priest of the London Oratory, has written a wise, witty and practical guide to Christian growth in holiness.

The core of Faber's message lies in his conviction that holiness is not an unattainable ideal reserved for a select few, but a vocation open to every Catholic: he gently guides the reader through prayer and practices, grounding everything in the concrete reality of a life lived with others; where the stresses and obligations of family, work and church form a key part of the route to holiness.

If you're looking for a thorough, orthodox, yet kind and loving guide to the spiritual life, Fr. Faber's book is an ideal and safe starting point. You'll discover the workings of grace, the pitfalls of lukewarmness and excessive zeal, the heroism of small acts of self denial and encouragement for times when God seems far from us.
