Written by comparative religion instructor George E. Saint-Laurent, Catholic

Spirituality in Focus: Eight Themes of Mind and Heart is a thoughtful guide to blending the practical daily life of a Christian with ideals from the Gospel. Each chapter discusses a different virtuous ideal with reference to model individuals whose dedication spiritually embodied that ideal: Dorothy Day for the ideal of Christian Vision, Jacques Maritain for Christian Values, Mother Teresa of Calcutta for Christian Virtue, and more. "Human suffering of mind, heart, and body is a profound mystery, but we may still find meaning and not absurdity through faith in the redemptive Cross of Jesus. Presented with the option of faith or agnosticism, we choose to believe in a God of infinite love. This is our deliberate option, and our spiritual resources enable us to deal with our crosses large and small along the way." A profoundly thoughtful theological primer and introduction to moral, religious, and spiritual self-improvement, written for Catholics of all walks of life.
