Description
Since they were first published in 1935, Abbot Chapman's "Spiritual Letters" have been of profound help to thousands of readers. This book includes a range of Abbot Chapman's letters both to lay people, including two married ladies and the editor of "The Dublin Review", and to religious such as a Benedictine monk, a Servite nun and a Jesuit Scholastic. In his introduction, Sebastian Moore explains that the "Letters" are both a guide to praying and a guide to living.
Reviews"Freshness, lucidity, humour and deep sprituality...Will find its right place besides Fenelon, St. Francis de Sales and de Cassade." --Theology "Open it anywhere and find inspiration and that calm which only comes from God." --Zealandia "Shows deep knowledge of the human soul and wide experience of the soul's problems." --Standard
